Sister
Every day, the best day ever
Is what she says with that sharp smile
Her eyes glow like nothing I’ve seen
In my room, in the car, in the backyard
Even when I am alone, she finds me
“Sister,” she’ll say, with that smile
She lifts me, my spirit, and encourages me
To be kind, and to love
And I remember that there is good
Because she is there,
Small,
Unmarked by the world,
Pure,
She wants to be just like me
But in truth,
Everyone needs to be a little more like her
