The Year of Audrey

this is the year of Audrey
my big sister for whom my love transcends
our mother called us "her diamonds"
for we were her most precious gems

married for 35 years to Bill 
her "Captain" and forever groom
a women of style and class
an organizer who behind the scenes 
who can make any occasion bloom

an amazing mother to Tiara "little momma"
and Taylor who they call "little poppa" too
a devoted pet owner to her doggy baby Todah
who is so spoiled & oh so cute

she retired from corporate America
but went on to continue her education
and in 2021 got a Master's degree
in Business Administration

now ready to start her next career 
in the field of real estate
I know she will take charge of it
and be successful and truly great

she's always been active and athletic
since the day she was born
and at the age of sixty
decided to run the New York City marathon

a member & servant leader
at Cathedral International in Perth Amboy
her & the "Captain" head the Marriage Ministry
with much love, devotion and joy

red is her color and her favorite Scripture
is Philippians 4:13
for she believes she can do all things 
thru Christ who will give her that ways & the means

And as we celebrate the year of Audrey
I just want her to truly comprehend
she's been my ride or die, my big sister 
but more importantly my best friend
