To me you're like a calla lily
Tall and strong and graceful
In all things
And you will always be my calla lily
Sister.
Out of all lilies, the only one I could love
Even if I didn't always understand it
Or you
But I learned that we didn't have to be the same
To share love and understanding.
So I watch you blossom, in awe of you
Pride and not envy
Joy and joyful
And remember that we may not be
The same
But we come from the same valley
Honeybees come and go
And when I reach across this green ocean
There you are - deep, royal purple
Like the queen you are
My calla lily
Sister.
