Sister

Dear new addition, Making us five. So happy you’re my sister All giggly and alive. We play and lose hours, Then share a room to rest. Your laughter makes me happy But you say that I’m a pest. Your words hurt as you get older, From fun sis to full-time scolder. Nasty looks toward me each day, Warning me to get out of your way. So confused when you attack And laugh when I receive a smack. Growing fast and enjoying school, Your words sting but I’m no fool. Even as adults with kids of our own, You live nearby in your don’t visit zone. I have true friends... wish you were one. Missing your laugh and childhood fun. Sister where are you? So far away. Perhaps we can talk? Maybe one day.
