Benevolence Issues Forth Courtesy Mine Eldest Sibling

Thee nonpareil Amelie Beth Harris-McGeehan blessed honest to dog goodness her person doth bring never could her brother wish upon NON GMO (archaeopteryx, buffalo, chicken...) wing, and genuine prayer anybody more a maze zing. Many countless years before our dear mother passed away four plus eleven earth orbitz ago, she voluntarily repeated more times than I can remember "your older sister possesses altruistic qualities." The above words enclosed by this bloke with double quotation marks, okey-doke not necessarily the way mama spoke, but yours truly took poetic liberty without any intention generating impulse to choke the harmless, nameless, and stateless writer and literally went bonkers while going for Baroque for recognized virtue that recently woke. Kinship towards angelic, fantastic, pacific anchor understandable why her spouse did hanker during their courtship to pledge his troth to maneuver metaphorical hook, line, and sinker as though steadying a tanker. Innocence and naïveté suffused little boy occupying body of aging long haired pencil necked geek without gainful employ and (and as a shy person without benefit of powdered milk biscuits) generally trended solitary verses masing with hoi polloi, nevertheless ofttimes relentlessly teased bully me, I loathed treatment on par with worthlessness linkedin with discarded toy, thus gratitude prevails toward eldest sibling (no matter just thirteen plus months older) pseudo motherhood she did deploy to ward off aggressive monsters. I reckon eyes appreciation matured into present thankful attitude, now with mooch time to ponder and brood how earlier in my life behavior childish and crude methought meself as hotshot dude, yet these days, I couch sincerity writing one or another poetic endeavor knitting words analogous to composing an etude contemplative, intuitive, and ruminative mental food for thought hoop ping to convey honest to goodness gratitude communicating reasonable rhyming message (if yee be downcast dearly beloved sister) delivering uplifting, kickstarting exalting mood.
