Not just because of
your quick smile,

Not just because of
your happy laughter,

Not just because of the way
I feel after I've talked to you.

It's all of these things
and more.

My heart sings
with the knowledge that
God has given me a gift...

The gift of you,
for we didn't choose each other.

We were born into the same family,
and we became friends,

Not just sisters,
but friends.

We feel each other's pain,
and we share each other's joy.
