"You Are My One Angel"
~~Chelsea Reneé
You are with me even now.
You sit beside me and sigh.
Though there are no words spoken between us, neither of us is silent.
Both of our minds wonder many things: school, work, friends, family problems...
The list goes on and on.
And though I may not know what it is you are thinking of right now,
I know my thoughts are of you...
Though you and I are not related in blood, dear sister, a sister is what I call you.
You are with me when I need you.
You make me laugh when I'm about to cry.
You are more to me than just a friend or just a best friend.
To me, you are my sister.
To me, you are my one angel.
You may not believe me, but you saved my life.
If it wasn't for your kind words in my dark times of sadness,
I probably wouldn't be here today.
You've lifted me up.
You've helped me find my way.
And I know that you are with me everyday.
And though now we are miles apart.
My love for you only strengthens.
I think of you, dear sister, all the time.
You've brightened my life, literally.
You've made me feel like I belong.
And I pray to God at night,
Thanking Him for sending you to me.
Because to me, you are an angel.
You are my one angel.
Though this isn't the most beautiful poem in the world
And though it doesn't rhyme.
I still write it for you and hope that you understand it all.
I will always love you, my sister-by-choice.
There is nothing in this world you could do to make my love for you lessen.
You could betray my trust...
Cut my heart...
Burn my skin...
And do almost anything, and I will still love you.
I hope you will never do anything to hurt me,
But even if you did...
I'd still love you.
You are my one angel.
You saved my life.
I owe you so much.
I wish you could see it all.
I wish you could see...
...Just how much you HAVE achieved in your life just by entering my life alone.
You...
You have a big heart.
You have beautiful eyes and a wonderful smile.
Your laugh gets others to laugh too.
Your love is so strong, nothing could break it.
Your love of children is amazing.
Your ability to make me laugh when I'm so angry and so hurt is outstanding!
All of your gifts are the gifts of good!
You are, and always will be, the most beautiful person I'll ever know!
Because of your heart, I am still here.
Because of your caring heart, I am still here laughing with you.
Do you still believe that you have achieved nothing in your life?
You made me a better person just by your care, laugh, and smile.
You deserve all the goodness in the world!
And if I could, I would give it all to you!
I would die for you because I know that the world needs more people like YOU.
I believe that so strongly...
I believe in you so much!
I love you, sister.
I only wish the best for you because you DO deserve it.
You ARE my one angel.
And I will thank God for you for forever.
I love you.
