I is loved

Last semester was hard. That was the story. God was good... but life was hard. He has done amazing things in my life through it and since then. Every day I am reminded as soon as I wake up and look up at my headboard.

One day, just after a Latin exam (which needless to say, didn't go well), I came home and found This left for me....

A heartwarming poem written just for me from my little sister, Abbey. Every morning, sun, snow, rain, or whatever... I can be thrilled to rise to another day because I wake up to seeing this.... I don't know if I can say I agree with all she says... but it makes me too happy, literally every day, to not share.

Quite a Cutie is My Sister Gabrielle

by

Abbey Ryan

A friendship unbroken

Between me and the person I tell

I love the person I tell of

She is my sweet Gabrielle

Eyes a sparkling blue

That dance in the light

She's full of fun spirit,

Of strength, and might

Her smile is bright

So much happiness she's brought

Her laughter, she has unconsciously taught

Her voice is pretty

Like a bright summer flower

I'm sure that her kisses

Are sweet and not sour

Her hair is brown

And wonderfully long

Upon her lips, often sits a fun song

Her temper is like a quick bolt of lightening

Strong while it lasts

But it has the room brightening

It's gone in a flash

Here, and then not

It was pretty when here

Leaving her cheeks rosy and hot

Strong in the Lord

And always will be

Her roots are firm

And has put blossoms on her tree

She is quick to love

And quick to forgive

She is generous at heart

Willing to give

She may not be tall

But her friendships keep growing

Her love is speeding

Instead of slowing

You are a fool

To not notice her beauty

Isn't my sister quite a cutie?

I love you, my dear, most darling sister

If she were ever to leave

Ah! How I'd miss her

I admire her joy, that is constantly there

She's a darling, she's such a dear

Isn't my sister... quite a cutie?

Let me say, my dear sweet Abbey is even MORE amazing!!! I <3 you, darling girl! And yes, I cried when I read it... and still get steamy eyes whenever I do (haha! and laugh a lot too). :)

::grin:: I is loved and I love my amazing B'girl. :)
