My Sister Mary...

Wow!  This is my sister Mary at age Ten!  My Brother-in-law, her husband, just shared this beautiful picture with me yesterday and I was thrilled!

WHAT IS A SISTER?

                                        by Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart

Though I cannot remember

Because I was so small

I had a guardian angel

Who watched me grow and all.

Someone who stilled my fears,

And picked me up if I should fall.

Now that I remember

Because I am long grown,

I treasure my older sister,

Who to me is better known.

And we share a life of memories

A life that has too swiftly flown.

 But she is still there to catch me

When I fall from stress or care

To comfort me in sadness

As my woes to her I bare

With love and Understanding 

That only two sisters can share.
