Little Sister

None of this will make any sense to you now But one day you’ll see You’re restoring my soul I’ve seen you grow up I was in the waiting room when you were born I helped you with your first words I wish you could stay five forever The way you hug me when I’m down Asking me to carry you when you’re too tired to walk I see you staring at people during church Forming impressions of the outside world Not giving a damned what these people think Showing me what it’s like to be young again And stop taking this life so seriously I may be experiencing a prolonged adolescence Yet I’m loving every minute of it.
