My Little Sister ( A poem for Amanda)

My Little Sister (A Poem For Amanda)

Although now you are grown

my little sister I will always see

Yet I don’t think there was ever

 a time you looked up to me

You were always so independent

Knew how to work the VCR when you were three

I had to watch the Breakfast Club

And White Water Summer, A thousand times a week

I was the quiet one and you

still haven’t stopped talking since you learned how to speak

You and I-We are

like day and night

Even our initials (A.M. and P.M.)

Fits us so right

But there is one thing we share

 That’s my love for you and your love for me

I’m your big sister

And you will always mean the world to me

I recall the countless times

You pissed me off and I wanted to knock you out

Then you made me feel bad

When your eyes were sad and your lips would pout

no matter how many times our characters clashed

We were there for each other when we needed to be

You know you’re my little sister

And you will always mean the world to me

As a child you

 cracked me up with your silly ways

And even sometimes you still do now

You brightened up most of my days

But good through bad- in my heart

 my love for you forever stays

No matter

how often we may disagree

I’m proud to be your big sister and

You will always mean the world to me
