Little Sister
Thank you
For loving sunlight.
For finding smiles and infectious laughter
In things in which I could only find darkness.
For not knowing how my day went
But cheering me up anyway.
Thank you
For believing in the color pink.
For showing me that vibrant energy is not cliche,
That blue is not the only real color.
For living in a small-minded world
But standing out anyway.
Thank you
For making me younger.
For putting bright eyes and softness
In place of icy blue and calloused skin.
For not knowing as much
But being brilliant anyway.
Thank you, little sister,
For being the best friend in the world
For reasons you could never understand.
