Little Sister

Little sister, to tell you how I love you is impossible
For there are not the right words in all the tongues of the world
That could begin to describe my feelings for you
When I look at my little daughter
I see the eyes and the hair of the little girl
Who when injured cried for me
Who laid on our brothers' bottom bunk
Listening to tales of princesses and kings as I read her to sleep
The little golden ringlet fairy who tread her feet to fall asleep
Who did not groan when I wet the bed we shared
Who forgives me even now, over and over again
Little sister you have given me so much
I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for you
You are my dearest friend. my most trusted confidante
I lay in bed at night worrying for you
I cry myself to sleep missing you
If I were given the option to choose any sister in the world
Still, I would choose you
I love you Amm
