Verse II

Sister Dear

by

Rasmiyyah Aidiah Gaines

You watched me grow and you taught me stuff,

You taught me to stand, when I thought I had enough.

If ever there was one who showed me so much care,

My sister dear, you were there.

When I asked, you answered, when I cried, you consoled.

When I faught, you helped, when I was wrong, you told.

Sister, I know I have been wrong and may have sassed you,

But my love for you is strong and true.

When brother gave a smack, who had my back, my sister.

Please don't doubt your influence on me,

But without you and big brother, where would I be.

If I lost you tomorrow, I know you would still be there,

Because even through death, we are connected sister dear.

If I go tommorrow, Lord forbid, just prepare,

Because I will leave my heart and soul in your care,

For you Sister Dear!

One Love, Dedicated to all my biological and 50 spiritual sisters : Rasmiyyah Gaines
