Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

One of the best gifts that I’ve received was the gift of becoming an aunt.

My Sister’s Girl is My Girl

By Tracy Schruder

From Rita’s first breath, I was undone,

Fifteen and awestruck, my heart had just begun

To overflow with love for this precious soul,

My sister’s daughter, my heart made whole.

Then Jena arrived, a sweet serenade,

A melody of laughter, a heart that’s not afraid

Her beauty shines, a light in my day,

A blessing from above, in every single way.

Tracy, oh Tracy, with a smile so bright,

You light up my world, and make everything all right

Your intelligence and kindness, a treasure to see,

A gift from my sister, a blessing to me.

I never had children of my own to hold,

But God had other plans, a love that would unfold

Through my sisters’ girls, I’ve experienced the delight

Of being an aunt, a love that shines so bright.

So to my sisters, I offer my gratitude and praise,

For bringing these blessings into my life’s gaze

You’ve given me a gift, a treasure to behold,

A love that’s pure, and a heart that’s made of gold.

Rita, Jena, and Tracy, my loves, my shining stars,

You’ve brought joy to my life, near and far

I promise to always be here for you,

To support, to guide, and to love you true.

My sister’s girls are my girls, a love that’s strong and true,

A bond that’s unbreakable, a heart that beats for you.
