Better Than Moms

You found me in the garbage...

You found me eating trash...

You found me in the streets alone...

You found me in my weakness.

You were only four years older...

You were kind beyond your age...

You were merciful and beautiful...

You were my fresh air, my escape...

I felt the warmth of your body...

I felt your sincere embrace...

I felt alive in my dead world...

I felt loved once again...

You fixed my life in a world...

Where everything was just wrong...

As my older sister, you

taught me...

Sisters are better than moms...

I breathe fresh air again...

I sing a brand-new song!

I live life to my fullest...

My older sister is just like mom!

There is no price for the love you gave...

To a street-dwelling boy like me...

To hold me in your loving arms...

To call me brother and breathe life in me...

I run towards your open arms...

In your embrace where I belong!

With your everlasting love, you've proven...

Older sisters are better than moms!
