Sarah is an Author and a Foodie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n


In a world that trembles with spite
and fear often speaks
a sister may rise from the dust
of the bare streets.
Not born of your blood, yet fierce in her grace, she walks:
into your life , into your battles
and stands in your place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such ties aren\u2019t woven in wombs or kin,
but stitched by God\u2019s whisper
that calls heart to skin.
For the soul always knows
when a blessing draws near:
and the heart feels her presence,
before she is even there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sister is laughter in storms,
peace in the night;
a mirror of courage that turns fear
into flight.
She is designed by destiny; chosen,
not made; an angel in sandals,
in love, fearless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here\u2019s to the women
God has planted your way;
who lift you from shadows
and brighten your day.
For not all our sisters share family trees; some are heaven-sent gifts
that bring life to its knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And blessed, blessed, blessed
is the one who finds a sister of the soul;
for she is a God-sent treasure
that life grants
only to the truly fortunate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
