Baby Sister (From Antigua With Love) 🎶

Sophie, this one's for you,

From your big sister, across the Caribbean blue.

You're our baby sister, always have been,

Even when teenage years felt like a storm within.

I remember those awkward, gangly days,

Teenage eyebrows, trying to find your ways.

But I always knew you'd grow into something beautiful,

Even when youth was clumsy, uncertain, and full.

Now look at you—confident, creative, shining bright,

Forty years of Sophie, what a sight.

We didn't always get on when we were young,

But time has a way of healing what's been strung.

From jealousy to the strongest bond,

Sisters united, we've come so far beyond.

Christmas memories, family gathered near,

Missing Dad and Mark, wishing they were here.

You're only a stone's throw away in Trinidad,

Life gets in the way, but we need what we once had.

Calm down, darling, it's all okay,

Baby sister Sophie, happy birthday.

I live in Antigua, you're in Trinidad's embrace,

So close in the Caribbean, yet we need more face-to-face.

You always say we should visit, life gets in the way,

But let's make it happen, let's not delay.

Christmas in the UK, the whole family together,

Those moments are treasures we'll hold forever.

Dad's gone, Mark's gone—we miss them so,

His BBQs, his kindness, that warm family glow.

Mark was my world, you held him in high regard,

A great human, caring, family man—it's hard.

But their memory lives in every laugh we share,

In every Christmas moment, in the love and care.

Paula's full of stories, full of fun they say,

But I don't see you enough, though you're not far away.

You were the chaos merchant in your teenage years,

Clever, creative, but damn, a little "cray cray," my dear.

Smoking in the bathroom, Christmas at my place,

My daughter asked what we were doing—straight face!

"Nothing," we all said, keeping secrets tight,

That's what sisters do, that's our family right.

And if I had to hide bad photos of Emma, you'd be there,

No questions asked, that's the bond we share.

You're a baby giraffe—tall, all legs, a little clumsy too,

But you've grown into grace, and I'm so proud of you.

From jealousy to the strongest bond of all,

Sisters united, we've answered the call.

Christmas memories, holding loved ones near,

Missing Dad and Mark, keeping them here.

You're only a stone's throw in this Caribbean sea,

Let's not let life keep you away from me.

Calm the fuck down, darling, you're doing great,

Baby sister Sophie—forty years to celebrate.

I always knew you'd grow into something rare,

Beautiful, confident, beyond compare.

From Antigua with love, across the ocean blue,

Happy birthday, Sophie—this one's for you.

Let's make more memories, let's not wait too long,

Baby sister, you're my forever song.
