BIG SISTER

I’m not sure what you were at first…
you never went away.
you made all kind of noises
and you laid around all day…

Mom and Dad seemed to like you
and when you smiled…that was fun
but with you in the house I had to share
I was no longer number one.

Then you started following me 
and soon enough I found
I didn’t mind sharing them with you
in fact I liked having you around.

We have a unique opportunity  
you, little brother, and me…
we get to practice on each other
the people we will be.

You will come to me when you need help
and right off the bat I want it known…
although I won’t solve all your problems
you won’t have to face them alone.

I wasn’t so sure about you at first
but now my feelings are quite strong…
I kind of like when you follow me…
I’m glad you came along

And I will do my best to encourage 
to love and to comfort you
for I am your big sister

and that’s what big sisters do
