Special Person

After discovering a box full of memorabilia that was hidden away for years, I found long-lost treasures. The following treasure is what my fifteen-year-old sister wrote in 1975 after she came to visit me in Evansville. Today is my little sister's birthday.

Special Person

Most people have a special

 person in their life,

like a husband or a wife.

And with a small child, 

usually it's a mother.

And a young boy,

it's his older brother.

But some don't have

a wife or a brother,

so they settle for another,

And mine is as special 

as one can be

for I know she really 

does love me.

To me she is the best.

I could forget about the rest.

I love her so much

words can't say

I love my sister

in every way.
