The Moon Lives in the Lining of Your Skin

We can all learn something from her
The way she always sees the best in people
The way her smile is always glaringly genuine
The way she sees past the negative of any given situation
We can all gain some valuable insight from her
The way she doesn't stress about tomorrow
But, instead, focuses on today
The way she effortlessly brings joy to those around her
And the diamond of a heart she wears on her sleeve
We can all stand to reflect on her selflessness
Because she has seen true pain
She has been treated wrongly
And she may never have some of the same opportunities as you and I
Yet she wears a smile every day
And offers it to each person around her
She has touched the lives of so many
She has definitely touched mine
I've never heard her talk bad of anyone
Or seen her pass a judging glance
She is simple....beautiful
I've never met another person like her, and doubt I ever will
She inspires me and motivates me
She is the best person I know

To my kid sister...
Who has shown more strength in her first 21 years than I will comprehend in my entire lifetime
Who teaches me, every day, how to be a better person
And who is always excited to see me and gives the most meaningful hugs

I know your continued strength will carry you through this next surgery
Just know that you've got your biggest fan cheering you on
And the support of all those lives you have touched so far
Go get 'em, Tiger.
