Little Sister

*Originally written Spring 2017*

Little Sister who
I hold so dear
I know you’ve
Realized that goodbye
Is near, I’m packing
Up and leaving home
But that does not
Mean you are alone

Though I won’t
Be able to hold
You tight when you
Can’t sleep at night
Know that I am
Still your light

In the days
That follow I
Feel myself full
Of sorrow, I do
Not want to say
Goodbye but my
Love I have to
Fly, it’s time

For me to try
This hand if
I wish for a
Life so grand
Sometimes I’ll fall
And have to crawl
But I know I’ll
Have you to call

For when I’m
Down on the
Ground you lift
Me high
Know I love you
With all my might

Little Sister who
I hold so dear
Won’t you lend
A listening ear?
Even if I’m far
We still are
Who we are

You will always
Be my Star
