An Ode to Sister

My sister.
More beautiful than
The brilliant colors of
Autumn's leaves
Gracefully floating through soft breeze
On a warm afternoon.

My sister.
As precious as a glistening gemstone
Mounted within the highest karats of gold.
My sister.
A woman of substance
Character
Nobility-
The personification of royalty.

My sister.
The reflection of elegance
Style
Grace
And charm.

My sister.
One whom I love
For the uniqueness-
Harmony and warmth
That only she can bring.

My sister.
As you celebrate this special day,
Just know that I cherish
Every moment that you have been
A part of my life
And I love you for all that you are--
Just you.
My sister.
