More than living under the same roof,
Following the same routine,
Day after day.
More than cooking together
And organizing my freezers
Playing with the horses,
Watching chicken football
Cleaning the pig pen or chasing a loose steer
The endless wheelbarrows of mulch
That lasted through the heat of summer
It was the late night talks
Even if you were stalling to go to bed
It was discovering new strengths and talents
In you and me
It was the comfort after a difficult phone call
Laughing til our sides hurt
At the new girls
Struggling with the chores
Or Cindy’s way of cooking and cleaning
We shared many memories
Experiences that could never happen
In the real world
Protected and sheltered
Loneliness was often a good friend
So was regaining a childhood once lost
As I poured out my heart, in hopes to help
You may never know
The ways you helped me
Watching each other struggle
And love reciprocated daily
A sisterhood forged for eternity
Forever grateful for the chance
To know and love you
Continually gives me hope
You have been the change I wish to see in the world
For you are truly set apart from the rest
The selected, the few
Chosen to make a difference
As you have made in my life
So, go and never forget
You are hope, life and every beautiful thing on this earth.
