 | When we were just babes,
my big sister watched over and cuddled me;
For I was but a few months old,
and her young years numbered three.
When we were still small, my big sister
taught me "how" and "why" and "when"
For I was merely a kid of seven, and she
had grown up to ten.
When we were growing, my sister's
strength and courage couldn't be matched
For she was 14, I was 11, and we fought,
and we bit and we scratched.
When we grew into young ladies,
my sister was really "neat" and "cool";
For she was a student in College,
and I was still in High School.
Now that we are older and adults, my sis is
closest, tho we're miles apart;
For she always stood by me and loved me,
and I cherish her deep in my heart.
