I still remember those days so dear,
When laughter and love were always near,
In a cozy home with my mother and father's care,
Brothers and sisters, a bond so rare.

I'm the fifth in line, in our family tree,
Together we thrived, so full of glee,
Our moments together, precious and true,
In the warm embrace of family, we grew.

Sisters, my companions, hand in hand,
In matching dresses, we'd proudly stand,
Oh, the joy we found in each other's eyes,
Underneath the endless, azure skies.

Days of innocence, like butterflies in flight,
Chasing dreams from morning until night,
These memories in my heart, I'll keep,
A treasure trove of love so deep.

Now the years have passed, and we've all grown,
But the love we shared, it has only grown,
Those days of old, forever in my heart,
A masterpiece of love, a work of art.

Time has gone, but the bond is still strong,
Like a melody of a timeless song,
Our hearts painted with hues of happiness rare,
In the tapestry of life, a love so fair.

Through storms and sunshine, we've walked the miles,
With each passing year, our family's smiles,
Like a garden of roses in full bloom,
Our unity dispelling all shadows of gloom.

The colors of happiness, vibrant and bright,
Illuminate our memories, a guiding light,
Through the canvas of life, we dance and sway,
In the warmth of our love, come what may.

So as I look back on those days of yore,
I'm filled with a gratitude, I can't ignore,
For the family I cherish, forever to be,
A masterpiece of love, an endless sea.
