For my big sis, I composed a little poem. ;-)
Jill
My sister is full of life and grace,
With depths of intellect that truly amaze
Those who listen to her words,
even the uppermost of the nerds.
To me, she’s the source of sage advice,
Of light-hearted humor and sometimes vice…
She supplies my book-habit like a drug,
Against my schedule, her fiction tugs
But in times of deepest need…
Her comfort and concern can lead
Me through the depths of pain or sorrow
Showing me visions of new tomorrow,
Encouraging all my aspiration
Challenging me by her perspiration
An example of long-term affection
Without harsh criticism or correction
Jill, a sister of my heart,
Perfect, yes, in every part
With me now for 30 years,
Often far but always near.
