In These Moments

Linking arms as we walk down the sidewalk,

Giggling at a cute couple passing by us.

Singing along to the radio as we drive down the interstate,

We're all off pitch, but smiling.

Yelling happy birthday as the candles are blown out

Talking until our lungs run out of air.

But at the same time,

Offering hugs when another is filled with despair,

Sharing words of comfort and lending support.

Cracking a joke to make them smile,

And forgiving them for their wrongdoings. 

Passing on notes,

Spending hours and hours studying together,

Whispering words of advice from one to another.

Planning weddings, and royal parties,

And embarrassing each other with ship names galore!

And at the end of the day,

we're sisters and brothers not in blood,

But in spirit.

And that's all I could ever ask for.
