Debbie

I see my sister's spirit when you walk into the room,

A cheerful kind of sunlight that chases off the gloom.

I watched you growing up, so thoughtful and so kind,

Leaving every shadow and heavy heart behind.

Oh Debbie, you’re the daughter that I never got to raise,

The one who's always there for me through all my darkest days.

You're loving and you're caring, a blessing through and through,

I am so thankful for this life, because I'm sharing it with you.

You’ve got a gentle way of knowing just the words to say,

Supporting me and steadying my steps along the way.

A niece by family tree, but so much deeper in my soul,

Your sweet and tender nature is the piece that makes me whole.

Oh Debbie, you’re the daughter that I never got to raise,

The one who's always there for me through all my darkest days.

You're loving and you're caring, a blessing through and through,

I am so thankful for this life, because I'm sharing it with you.

I didn't rock your cradle, but I hold you in my heart,

And nothing in this crazy world could tear our bond apart.

I count my lucky stars for every visit, every smile,

You make the heavy burdens feel so easy for a while.

Oh Debbie, you’re the daughter that I never got to raise,

The one who's always there for me through all my darkest days.

You're loving and you're caring, a blessing through and through,

I am so thankful for this life, because I'm sharing it with you.

Yes, I'm so thankful every day, just to walk this road with you.
