Sibling Rivalry

To me, my sister is a friend She's always there when I need a hand But when we were younger, we always fought Hitting and screaming at each other every since we could talk If she hit me, I hit her back Then I would say, "Ha Ha I got you last" I was also the youngest of us two So of course I was a brat and did what I wanted to do She would kick me and pull my hair So I would hide behind the door and give her a scare Once she threw a brush at me and I jumped up and did a split She was pretty mad when she realized she missed And when we got to be adults and got our own lives The fighting didn't stop, we just improvised Then I became pregnant and everything changed We stopped all the arguing and all the games I was three months when I lost my baby And she was right there to pick up the pieces and save me Years later I had a daughter and so did she And our past became another reality One day her daughter hit mine,and then mine hit her back My daughter looked at her funny and said, "Ha Ha I got you last"
