Sister

For so many years
I had your back, never really noticing
...you secretly had mine
 
You would always follow me,
try on my clothes, take my things
without asking
Would want what I had
...Today I proudly love all you have
 
I would pretend you were my daughter,
taking you places, mom didn't have time to
guided you through school,
made time for girl talk,
dressed you and fixed your hair
so that you would look immaculate
wherever you went
...You are still this way today
 
Sacrifices I made for you and your daughter's safety
wasn't too much for me to do,
I felt like I had super hero strength when it came to you
...You thanked me later for it in your own way
 
Ultimately, you are one
who has been there for me  
kept me aware and awake,
.."don't waste your precious time"
.."don't believe the hype, it doesn't make sense"
.."you will be back where you started"
.."don't stay stuck, it won't change"
 
Kept my secrets  
and guarded them with your life
Told me,
"I will be here no matter what, we will do it together"
 
You are the sword every warrior needs.
