She walks around with confidence
A little girl, she is only nine
People ask, Is she your sister?
And I reply proudly, Yes, she is mine.
At one time, there was an uncertain birth
Which came the youngest sister of mine
Would she die or live?
We would only know in time
So little hair, yet so blonde
Her eyes were the color of the sea
She only weighed four pounds, so small
And when I looked at her, she looked like me
As she grew older, she looked up to me
She did everything I did, and it made me mad
I constantly told her to get lost
And that made her feel bad
On June 18th, I had to watch her leave
I cannot believe I had to say goodbye
But when I see her in three weeks
I cannot wait until I get to say hi
This is my little sister, Chelse
And I am very proud to say
That when she gets a bit older
She will be just like me one day
She walks around with confidence
A little girl, she is only nine
People ask, Is she your sister?
And I reply proudly, Yes, she is mine.
Proud Of Little Sister
This poem reminds me of my older Sissy. She is now 18 and in the Army, and I am next to follow. I used to copy her all the time to frustrate her because it was fun. Now I'm following her...
She Is Mine
