It occurred in 82
But would not happen til 83
The recent graduates
Were parents-to-be.
Once as wild as monkeys
Now as busy as bees
They were just 20 years older
Then their baby-to-be.
On March 25th
The doctor announced
6 pounds, 4 ounces
Shes as tiny as a mouse!
Named after my great-grandma
An angel on earth
The family rejoiced
Over my unplanned birth
I was the first grandchild
To ever come around
I was spoiled so rotten
That I rarely ever frowned
Good news came in 86
When my parents announced
I would be a big sis!
I tried to imagine
What it would be like
All the things I would teach her
To dance, swim, and ride a bike.
Jessica came in the middle of November
We became best friends
Having many fun times together.
6 years later, 6 years after Jess
came the year 92
we sat down to talk
and to my surprise
my mom housed another baby inside.
On 7-11 little Chelsey came to be
My baby sister
Was 10 years younger than me.
She grew up so quick
Right before my very eyes
Unfortunately life held yet another surprise.
In 1998 two worlds collided
My parents divorced
Our family divided.
I lived with Dad,
Mom took Jess and Chels.
Only sadness erupted from us not living in the same house.
Though things were very different,
and not how we preferred.
We overcame our barriers,
And did not let our friendship deter.
Now in 2004,
My sisters are my best friends.
I love, cherish, and adore them,
I will to the end.
Im engaged to be married,
To a wonderful man.
My sisters love him dearly,
And show him all they can.
One thing I know for sure is,
As I approach my wedding endeavor,
Those two beautiful girls will stand beside me
On that day until forever. |
