For Stacey My Sister

As a child you helped me witness true magic,
For I could see it through your eyes.
You made imagination a fond reality,
As the fantastic came to life.

In your heart you shared a wonder,
That only you could weave.
I loved how when all else seemed unreal,
You showed how we should just believe.

You were a sister wrapped in a miracle,
Packaged on one eve of Christmas night.
And left for me by Santa, before I was even born,
Because he knew that this was right.
