Sisters by Choice

Yeah...

this one right here is for my girl...

Aniya...

Rasheda...

and you already know I gotta call you Anita! (hahaha)

From little kids

to grown women...

ain't nothing changed, sis.

This is forever.

We were just kids when our story began Never knew back then

you’d become my right hand Through all of the years,

through the highs and lows You’re one of the few that my

heart truly knows From childhood memories to the life that we live

You’re the kind of friend who got all she can give We

talk every day, ain’t a day that goes by If the world

falls apart, you’re right by my side They say blood makes family,

but now I know Sometimes the strongest bonds are the ones we

chose You know all my secrets,

my laughter, my pain And no matter what happens,

our love stays the same

Aniya, Rasheda, my sister for life My day-one girl through the wrong

and the right

More than just friends,

you’re a part of my soul A sister I chose,

worth more than gold

And Anita!

(hahaha) You know that’s your name I tease you,

I love you, and that won’t ever change You always got my

back, no matter what we go through

Love you, sis, forever me and you

We don’t need a reason,

we just pick up the phone

Even on my worst days,

you make me feel home You can hear in my voice when

something ain’t right And somehow you know how to make everything light

We’ve grown through the seasons,

watched each other change No distance,

no drama, no matter the test If life gets heavy,

you won’t carry it alone You’re not just my best friend,

you’re a part of me

They say blood makes family,

but now I know Sometimes the deepest roots are the ones we

grow You stood right beside me,

never letting me fall And if you ever need me,

you just give me a call

If I could go back to those childhood days I’d choose you

again in a million ways Through every chapter,

every tear, every smile

You’ve made this life so much better all the while

We ain’t gotta share the same family tree ‘Cause you’re more than

blood could ever mean to me And when we’re old,

still talking all night

I’ll still call you Anita,

and we’ll laugh like we’re kids Aniya!

Rasheda! Hear me when I say You’ll always be my sister,

come what may Through every storm,

through every high and low You’re one of life’s blessings I’ll never

let go

My chosen family, my forever friend A love like ours doesn’t have

an end You got my back,

and I’ve got yours too

Love you, sis, forever and true

Aniya...

Rasheda...

my girl. You know I love you,

right?

But don’t get too comfortable...

I’m still calling you Anita!

(hahaha) Since we were little,

until we’re old and gray.

You’re my sister, my chosen family.

And if I had to choose all over again?

I’d choose you every single time.

Love you, sis.

Forever.
