Bright Star in the Black of Night

I know I don't deserve anything.

I know I deserve death.

I deserve the pain.

I deserve the heartache

I know.

I really do.

I don't deserve people that love me

I know I don't deserve friends.

But I got ‘em.

Thank God I do.

I look at the night sky.

She would fight the sun for me

I'd take on all of the stars.

Thank God I have her.

She's a gift I don't deserve.

But that's the point of gifts,

Ain't it?

Grace.

Getting what you don't deserve.

I don't deserve love unconditional

But God gave it to me when I hated him

He gave me her.

He gave me a shoulder to cry on

To rest my head

When the pain gets to be too much

He gave me comfort

Security

Stability in her recklessness

A person on this earth that would love me

That would choose me

Over many other people

People she could be spending

Her precious time with

I have been chosen.

First by God

Then my parents

And now her.

And I cannot be grateful enough

My heart overflows when

I think of the love

My sister gives me

She's my sister.

Divinely appointed,

Whether she believes so or not

And I cannot thank her enough.

So I keep her forever in my prayers

I hold her in my heart.

For she is a star

In a very black sky
