For Karen

I was heartbroken that one of my best friends lost her only sibling, her brother. I grew up next door to them. Richard was such a cute kid that everyone had a crush on him. He looked like Luke Skywalker. He was the lifeguard at the country club.

The only reason I didn't have a crush on him was two reasons.

1. He heard my mom screaming at me and, once, he saw me flee into the woods after I had thrown a glass of iced tea in her face. I ran and hid, believe me, and he was my lookout to be sure my mom didn't find me.

2. He was 2 years younger - the kiss of death in high school. Not cool. heh

 

Anyway, my sister always forces me to post certain pictures of her on Facebook. I decided to post one on my own, with a rhyme that expresses my love for my sister, Karen. I am blessed to have her in my life and wanted her to know before time passes so quickly it becomes a blur.

 

 

~My Sister, My Partner in Crime~ by me

 

I have two lovely sisters.

I love them equally.

But being very different

I love them differently.

 

This rhyme is meant for Karen,

My sister, my partner in crime.

She's the sister just below me

With her I spent most of my time.

 

For you, Karen, my fiercest rival

I spent hours planning pranks.

Though should anybody threaten you

I totally had your flanks.

 

My life was never boring

With you constantly around.

We understood each other

Without even using sound.

 

You've been more than a best friend.

You're more than a parent could be.

You're my sister, my partner in crime.

I will love you an eternity.
