A Poem For My Sister On Her Birthday

From watching Lion King to staying up to the early morn,

I was excited to welcome you into the world when you were born!

We danced together in front of the mirror when you were cranky.

I helped to dress you, change you, feed you, and wrap you in your blankie.

I helped you take those first steps and would catch you if you fell.

I read to you, played school with you, and made sure you felt well.

We worked hard together on the white tiger puzzle on your bedroom floor.

You came to college with me on your spring breaks and sometimes more.

Now you have grown into a smart, beautiful, young woman turning twenty.

I just wanted to say you mean the world to me and I love you plenty.

This was the poem I wrote to put in my sister's birthday card.

Do you write poems for your loved ones?

Written by me.
