Big Sister

I’m not sure what you were at first… you never went away. you made all kind of noises and you laid around all day… Mom and Dad seemed to like you and when you smiled…that was fun but with you in the house I had to share I was no longer number one. Then you started following me and soon enough I found I didn’t mind sharing them with you in fact I liked having you around. We have a unique opportunity you, little brother, and me… we get to practice on each other the people we will be. You will come to me when you need help and right off the bat I want it known… although I won’t solve all your problems you won’t have to face them alone. I wasn’t so sure about you at first but now my feelings are quite strong… I kind of like when you follow me… I’m glad you came along And I will do my best to encourage to love and to comfort you for I am your big sister and that’s what big sisters do
