Dear Candace…

My only younger sibling
My how you’ve grown
Always apart it seems
Never alone

My companion in Doctor Who
We played it for hours
Blake’s 7 and ‘Cool Crows’
Little People with powers

Those strange teenage years
Where we were just dorks
Sonic the Hedgehog
And big Pepsi shorts

Then you became you
And I became me
Our lives changed direction
Inevitably

But you are my sis
Feared feet and no body
The champion of track and field
And a riot at parties

The love has remained
I’m happy to say
Dear Candace, I love you
And this is your day
