When God gave me a sister,
He knew i’d need a friend
Someone who’s loyalty
Would never, ever end
Someone who’s softness
Would inspire me to try
To see the people around me
With more compassionate eyes
A friend to climb the stairs with
A friend to walk the mall
Always ready and listening
For texting or a phone call
She knows about my secrets
She knows what goes on inside
And out of all the sisters
God chose you to stand by my side.
Please don’t let me be solidified
Sanctified and rectified
In the cage of my age
Age is a number but also a season
The slowing of my growth is also a reason
I fear the subjective results of my body’s response
But let me never stop the bleeding of my soul
For within the flow, it makes me whole
I see clearer behind then I do ahead
Lord fall on me again afresh
Allow me with your soul to mesh
Do not allow this world deceiving
To take my life and leave me grieving
