HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA

Happy Birthday Sister

by Thena Smith

I searched and searched for something

To give you on your special day

But nothing was quite goodenough

Or not the words I wanted to say!

I looked in the stores to find

That perfect little gift

Something very special

To give your heart a lift.

I looked in the bookstores

And even Wal-Mart too...

Nothing could come close

To being special enough for you.

I looked in ads of newspapers

I even looked on line

Praying that somewhere

A special gift I would find.

Then I felt a gentle nudge

That gave me quite a start

T'was if a voice said to me

"Look within your heart!"

So I looked inside my heart

At all the memories there

Of all the wonderful loving

Memories that we share.

And I came up with this little verse

That is so simple yet true

The best thing about being sisters

Is that I have YOU!

I love and miss ya Melissa. I hope you have a good birthday as you sing and dance with the butterflies.

Love,

Marybeth
