For My Sister, Mosquitos, and Skiing

My beloved sister, 
people come and go 
Sadly it’s a part of life 
But hold onto those who are there for you

Not ones that are like mosquitos. 
Sticking to you only to suck out your happiness, 
Leaving you with an itchy bump 
Wondering why? 

So keep dreaming, 
Write your songs 
Sing your heart out 
On life’s stage
And don’t let them put you into a cage 
Because you’re a lion and you were meant to roar. 

This is your life
Your mountain to climb up 
and then ski down 
letting your success carry you down the slope. 

I love you sis. 
I’ll be home soon.
