A Sister’s Love
To My Sister, Cheryl
By Carole Wagener, Coastal Dunes Branch
Who loves to garden and grow the flowers,
Who sits and talks with me for hours;
What a loving and carefree,
Laughing spirit you are;
Like the golden California poppies
Which grow on the hillsides afar.
Our sisterhood is precious like gold,
For so many others to behold.
I know it’s a gift
From God up above,
Because no gold can buy
This kind of LOVE.
Happy Birthday,
From your “Lil Sis”,
Carole
