A poem for my sister.
Thank you, not goodbye

He said, "I'll say thank you, not goodbye.
Thank you for opening my eyes.
Thank you for broadening my horizons,
For teaching me to be kind."

She said, "I'll say thank you, not goodbye.
Thank you for all of your passion.
Thank you for giving me self-confidence,
For being on my side."

He said, "I'll say thank you, not goodbye.
Thank you for being my soul mate.
Thank you for this incredible journey,
For agreeing to be my bride."

I say, "Thank you, not goodbye.
Thank you for all that you taught me.
Thank you for all of the silliness,
For making me feel alive."

So then, it's thank you, not goodbye.
Thank you for being our Lucy.
Thank you for all of the memories,
For filling us with pride.
