Sister

Sister

Forest green

How long have you been dancing in the rain?

Like a wide-eyed harlequin with a pirate smile

Playing up the passion, playing down the miles

Sister

Royal red

Can a lifetime ever fill your hungry head?

Decorate your parlor like a book you read

I’ll never forgot a word you ever said

Sister

Marigold

Where do you come from, what powers do you hold?

Did your mother give you your soaring soul?

Or did heaven hand you all the things you know?

Sister

Blue twilight

Night will never dim the light inside your eyes

Contrast into color in the shades of light

You’re writing with your blood

You paint it with your light

lyrics by Nancy Wilson

For my lovely, beautiful inside and out sister-in-law, who is courageous, inspirational and oh, so human. She is defined in so many ways, but today she is honored for being a breast cancer survivor, for her compassion for other women who are battling this disease and for being a vision of all that is possible, miraculous and wonderful.

She is greatly loved.
