I've known her almost fifty years, but give or take a few
She's married to my brother, but she's like my sister too
With four amazing kids, she is a loving mom and wife
She has four awesome grandsons, who add so much to her life
She only speaks the positive and never is absurd
So I will go to her if I just need a caring word
She's always gone out of her way to do nice things for me
Her picture books and videos, her creativity
I doubt that I could ask her for a favor she won't do
Unless it could hurt someone else; to herself she is true
I don't tell her often enough how I admire her
And when it comes to honesty, she has what I prefer
And if I had the choice that I could change her or replace
I know I could look everywhere, in all the world and space
So it would be impossible; no matter how or when
To find another sister in-love, like my dear, Karen
You're like a lovely flower in a beautiful bouquet
And I must say I've always loved you in a special way
I do have one big wish for you, so this I will convey
That you deserve the best, so have a glorious birthday
