You never hear me

Because I’ve said too much

About the wrong things

About the “should do's"

And “I told you’s”

 

You never hear me

Because of those stickler statements

So when I do say the meaningful stuff

“That’s great!” and “I love you”

They pass you

 

But in my eyes, you’re awesome

So much better than me

I, the oldest, fall short of you

You, Adam and Audrey

Your Lego creations are astounding

Your drawings are abounding

 

You’re like me and yet not

You like me and sometimes don’t

We’re adversaries and friends

Stuck in the same house

 

It’s a trial… A blessing

 

And I

am

proud,

grateful,

and happy.

 

I prayed for you when I was three

And I’ll love you for eternity

You’re my sister

You’re my brother

You’re my family

And I love you

 

Signed,

Your sister
