I never knew how much I could love,

Until I watched her come into the world.

Fifteen months ago,

My heart felt like it was about to be ripped out of my chest.

The first cry is a sound of life and hope,

But all I heard was ear piercing silence.

Ever since I can remember,

I've wanted a little sister.

But fifteen months ago,

I realized that having a niece is even better.

Spoiling her is my priority,

And I don't have the "big sister" responsibility. 

My niece is my inspiration,

Inspiration to pursue my career choice.

Fifteen months ago,

I decided to be a nurse.

My niece is awesome,

Because she is my inspiration.
