SISTER OF MY HEART


       Sister of my heart, ten years younger than me
       so lovable but too introvert is she.
       Me , basically extrovert trying to guide her,
       but failing to change her inherent nature.
   
       I’m  confident, not to be overpowered,
      but she is hesitant to show her power.
      Me having lots of friends to enjoy in full.
      She canot not share her feelings, being fearful.

       Me, energetic taking life as  challenge.
       Adverse circumstances ! She cannot manage.
       Me optimistic, always running active.
       She : Idle, not taking initiative.

     I'm  dynamic to hate any stagnancy.
     She feels no boost, sinking in despondency.
     Spasm of wobbling heart leads her wishes to hide.
     I am bold and act prompt on dot to decide.

     She stays in closed cocoon without exposure.
     I'm explorer to proceed on new venture.
     She imprisons herself staying in boredom
     Me , wandering free frolic in wide spectrum.

     To confront conflict, I am always ready.
     She presents her herself being quiet -steady.
      She doesn't want to move , I progress on  journeys,
      But I run at ease., if she accompanies.

     Being older,  I instruct her throughout year.
      But in urgency she is my lucky star.
     To honour my advice, my friends are enticed.
     Contrast lies here , as I ask for her advice.
