Little Bear

For my little sister, Ellie-Bear

Listen to me

Little Bear

But make sure to never

Follow my path

If you wish to be good

Listen to me

Little Bear

Heed the warnings I give you

And follow my advice

For I've been through it all

My Little Bear

My little sister

There is nothing you can say

That will make me run away

Your mom loves you

And our dad adores

But they turned from me

When I needed their help

Come to me

Little Bear

When you need a hand

When you need to be lifted up

When you need someone

To sit and listen

Without judgement

And without opinion

I will hold your hand

Little Bear

As you continue to grow

Past your three years

Ah this is so wonderful, I enjoyed this. Love the metaphor in this.

A sweet poem for your sister , the addition of commas and more grammar could advance this poem even more. Though I do understand it may have been left out on purpose

[Alexander Dillon]

I really enjoyed it. Good use of metaphor.
