MARY, MY SISTER

My sister Mary

Is a devoted mother

She is the mother

Of four

And those little girls

Are with her

All the way

To the core

She is also

A devoted wife

But sometimes we forget

A wife

And a mother

Is not

All of who she is

She also

Has a life

Of her own

But like all mothers

Sometimes we forget this

We forget WHO she is

Many years ago

We were close

I used

To call her pal

But our lives

Went in different directions

And that’s ok

Because

That’s the way

Life is

In these times

We call

The 21^st century

My sister Mary

And her beautiful family

Will always

Be family to me

Ps Happy Birthday Mary-I LOVE you-Can’t wait to see you

At Thanksgiving

“For this reason-a man will leave his father and mother

And be united to his wife

And they will become one flesh” Genesis 2:24

“Wives submit to your husbands

As is fitting in the Lord

Husbands-love your wives

And do not be harsh with them

Children-obey your parents in everything

For this pleases the Lord

Fathers-do not embitter your children

Or they will become discouraged” Colossians 3:18-21
