Birthday Greetings For My Sister

This birthday greeting poem is for the youngest of our family of five sisters.

The poem is written in lines of ten syllables, with four rhyming quatrain stanzas, and ending with a rhyming couplet.

Never change from the woman that you are.
To us sisters, you are a "Super Star."
