Summary: If any of you have read my piece 'Faceless Woman' or 'Faceless no more' you will know I found my birth family last year. I also discovered 6 brothers and sisters. My youngest sister and I have become so close over the last year, and as it is a year this week since I met her, I thought it might be nice to write a poem for her. Quite simple but meaningful.... I hope.




Her hair so fair
mine so dark
but in her eyes
I see my own

Hourglass curves
mirror hers
and her giggle
echoes mine

I lift the phone
to dial her up
it rings
she says "Hello"

A song plays
on MTV
"I love this song!"
we harmonise

She is a gift
a special friend
makes me smile
reads my mind

I appreciate
time we spend
after being apart
so long

Clinking glasses
Rum and Coke
I want to toast
my sister.
