SISTER
by K. B. Johnson © Winter, 2013

Dear Sister,

On this day of love,
remember this:
Love of self is the most precious gift to be received and celebrated, everyday.
It is the hallmark of selfless compassion;
the treasure bestowed upon those close to the heart;
the passion that flows white hot at the most vulnerable moment;
the beauty of a smile that irradiates mundane days to be extraordinary;
the twinkle of sexy in eyes that are alive and inspire.
It is the depth of your maze that amazes and charms.

Dear Sister, all that you are is because of love of self.
Never lose yourself in the false notions of infatuation,
for it is fleeting.
In love of self, rely on your dignity and pride each and everyday,
knowing that you are God's gift to the world.

To find myself in the space and time of your presence
fills my life with honor
and humility.

Love Always,

Brother
