Sisters by Marriage

SISTERS BY MARRIAGE

Sisters by marriage;

Friends by choice.

Sharing family, name

And heritage.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Two or three mothers

All those cousins.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Let's meet at the park

It'll be fun.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Let's all go shopping,

My turn to drive.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Thanksgiving at my house,

Easter at yours.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Chokecherries are ripe

Jelly for all.

Sisters by marriage,

Friends by choice.

Sharing laughter and tears,

Joys and fears.

Sisters by marriage;

Friends by choice.

Sharing family, name

And heritage.

(Dedicated to my Mother, Aunt Max and Aunt Jesse and Lauretta, Kathryn and Clara May.)
