The bond between a sister and a brother

Stretches across time and space;

It's a love unlike any other,

And none can take its place.

For growing up together in

A home that's filled with love

Is a relationship that is akin

To heavenly bonds above.

Even death is powerless

This bond of love to sever;

Fraternal love is endless--

Its beauty lasts forever.

Written for Bethany and Hayes with love,
