One In a Million Sister
(7/5 Trochee Form)
Jenny is the sister who
came right after me.
And she’s always suffered from
insecurity.
Very shy, she did not date
even once in school.
and I couldn’t fathom why
since my sister’s cool!
Things mechanical, she can
figure out with ease.
And she loves good puzzles that
give her brain a tease!
Nurturing, she’s made for her
family, a home.
Yet she feels inferior
she can’t write a poem!
Generous and loyal too,
sensitive and kind;
always telling me how much
she admires my mind.
One in a million sister
gives support to me.
Jenny needs to see she’s all
God meant her to be.
