The Older Sibling

People who are special.

We…

Are people who have a younger sibling.

My sister…

Who I watched and cheered graciously, because she is my best friend.

Or at least, she is nice to me.

Watching her on that stage.

It is not because of anything I taught her.

As I have slacked on my sibling duties.

In the audience, I can be proud from afar.

As they read her name aloud.

That is her first name.

And our last name.
