A Poem written by Rakhi for Raksha Bandhan

Just like this pious thread of Rakhi
Our relationship is extraordinary
Each yarn is woven with love
Your love is unmatched like that of a parent
You nurtured me with the same affection
Those tender memories of childhood days
Your ever-changing naughty ways
You scolded me for trivial things
And then the pampering
That you showered on me
Truly, you live up to your name
For you bloom like a sacred lotus
May god always bless with your gracious presence
On this auspicious day of Rakshabandhan
What else can I give you but this blessing

Here's To My Brother

Here's to my brother
Remember every day
No matter what I've said
Here's what I'd like to say
I will always love you
Be with you till the end
When no one else is around
I will be your friend
I love my brother
and I always will
I'm proud to be your brother
that's how I feel And someday when we're far away
And the miles keep us apart
I'm gonna whisper
I love my brother
And you'll know it in your heart

A Sister Like You

Someone who will understand
Who knows the way I feel
In every situation
Her concern is very real
Someone who has walked my ways
Who knows my every need
Times when she would see me cry
Her heart would nearly bleed
Everyone should have a sister
Just the way I do
Richly blessed is what I am
To have a sister like you A Sister is Forever
by Bruce B. Wilmer
A sister's a sister forever,
A bond that diminishes never,
A friend who is kindly and caring,
A sibling God chooses for sharing.
Few ties as deep and profound
And with so much affection abound
Though some thoughts are seldom expressed
Love endures and survives every test.
Of the constants that rest in the heart,
A sister's a primary part.
She'll always be there when you need her-
You listen, you value, you heed her.
As growth, independence you ponder,
Your feelings grow deeper and fonder;
And life tells you one thing that is true:
A sister's a large part of you.
