She Lives

In every act of kindness

In every heart that’s pure

In everyone who overcomes

The hardships they endure

In the faces of the pilgrims

Who travel every mile

And lift another spirit

With kind words or a smile

In every waking moment

In everything I do

In the lessons that she taught me

Her love comes shining through

Leading by example

As she has from the start

Forever an immortal

She lives inside my heart

For Liz

Sticks and stones can break some bones

And we both tried our best

But time reveals what matters most

When love’s put to the test

The past that held our battles

Is the history we now share

And life is so much easier

Just knowing you are there

The loss we feel inside us

The pain that seals the bond

Will keep us close together

In this life and beyond

So, childhood sibling rivals

Become something so much more

Two souls standing together

Facing what life has in store
