Do Not Sing So Loudly

Don’t sing so loudly! Jimmy told his little sister.
Don’t tell me what to do! She said, sassing him a bit.
She always wanted attention, it was what she did.
Her voice was loud and proud, higher than his too.

Why is she so annoying? He asked his mother. 
His mother said, “Someday she will be your best friend.”
He did not believe her, but guess what?
Their mother left the earth, and they became best friends.

Singing as loudly and proudly as they wanted.
She was still louder than Jimmy
But he was proud of her now
And loved her loudness!
