We each grew up in a different place
We each grew up with a different face.
We never played  together when small.
We didn't know each other at all.

We didn't choose our Family's, you see.
We were each  where we were supposed to be.
Each with our own Sisters and Brothers.
Each with our dear Fathers and Mothers .

We didn't know of God's plans for our lives.
To go to a foreign land to become loving wives.
Leaving behind our Families and Friends.
We arrived in a place of unfamiliar winds.

As time passed, we found our surroundings just great.
Occasionally though a girl needs more than just her mate.
For girl talk, shopping, listening and other stuff.
Being without a best Friend or a Sister is sure rough.

But God  already knew about this in our life.
He said, no need for worry with such strife.
I've placed all of you very close in this new land.
You can be Friends and give each other a helping hand.

As time passed, our new friendships grew and grew.
The lonely feelings we once had  are now very few.
Along with our loving Husbands, we are now Mrs. and Misters.
We have new best Friends and our very own Chosen Sisters.
