Premiere Contest WinnerI Look Up To Her

She is four years younger,
But she is stronger.
She is mentally mature & knows how to speak her mind.
I look up to someone younger & smaller than I,
My little sister, Rachel, we have a special tie.
We are two sisters, in a world of hecticness.
She knows what she wants, she knows what she believes,
And she is determined.
I look up to her.
She works hard to achieve what she sets her mind to,
She doesn’t bend to the world’s ways - she doesn’t care much what is or isn’t ‘cool.’
She creates her own breeze, her own sun, she believes in Father, Spirit, Son.
She is my little sister - but I have so much to learn from her.
It is her confidence, and compassion, and strength, 
That carry her to become her truest self.
