Lost in the sunrise

While I drink my morning tea

I think of memories

Made by you and me

 

Settled in the saddle

The horse beneath me

Soft and gentle

Mom wraps her arms around my side

I know she won’t let me fall

As I learn to ride

 

Singing along

To our favorite songs

Out of tune

Without a clue

Dear Dad,

I’m glad you like music too

 

Our bond as sisters

Began as family before

But has outgrown what I could ever ask for

Sharing secrets, jokes, and so much more

You’re my best friend, of that I’m sure

 

Ferry trips over

To Nantucket

Biking through cobblestone streets

We dive through waves

And eat ice cream for days

 

While these are just a few

Of the millions of memories

We share together

I wanted to let you know

 

Through the lessons

The laughs

The tears

And overcoming fears

 

From vacation trips

Cheers at sporting events

Endless school activities

And birthday parties

 

I am grateful for my childhood

And above all, my family

Not just today

But every single day

And most of the time

I wish we could go back
