Ode to my Sister Cathy (Poem #722)
My little sister so cute and sweet
We have so much fun together
Doing things week after week
She is the kindest person I know
It's not her smile that beguiles
But the kindnesses she shows
She is so independent and strong
Will do anything she can herself
To help her living alone get along
She's had many blessings in life
Which God has provided with love
Amidst the living provided by strife
A Christian in heart and her soul
Her actions show it striving
To be like Jesus makes her whole
Her children mean the very most
Mark, Darin and Wendy Jean's
Name honored me, here I can boast
Along came her granddaughter Nicole
So wonderful a blessing she is
Making her family now whole
You will often find her being busy
Doing so many neighborly things
She often drives me dizzy
If I so much as break a toenail
I know that she will always be there
I don't have to give out a single wail
Today I am honored to share
Her birthday with lunch
Ribs are a favorite if we dare
This ode could go on all day
But its time for a Happy Birthday
And a hug and a kiss going her way
So Cathy may you have a wonderful
Happy Birthday and next year
Have many more blessing to full fill
