Forty seconds to say I love you Forty seconds to say I care for you I hate to see you cry I hate to see you hide your face from me with shame You are always happy, I appreciate your sweetness You are like an older sister, always watching out for me You are always like "njeri, come by and lift some weights. Its good for you" You draw hearts for me to smile too One time I accidentally broke your glass of water and I felt so bad about it But you were like, "njeri,it's ok. In my culture, when things break its usually a sign of good luck" I will never know your pains But I'll always love to bring you a cheerful pie

I liked the feeling behind 'In my culture, when things break it's usually a sign of good luck.' Nice job, Njeri!
