Dedicated to my baby sister, who I never get to see anymore.

 

I remember when you were small

You were as bright as the midday sun

Your laugh was so adorable

You had no teeth but still loved to smile

 

I remember when you were small

Your hand fit in the palm of mine

Your were so sweet and innocent

You hand that mischievous glint in you eye

 

I remember when you were small

When I was crying you’d be there

Asking what was wrong

Making sure that you brought a smile to you big sisters face

 

I remember when you were small

We used to play video games

You would always manage to win

Even if you were only four

 

I remember when you were small

You used to wake me up in the morning

We’d go down and eat our breakfast together

And then sit and watch all you Disney movies together

 

I remember when you were small

You used to play with my hair

Put play make-up on me

And return my glasses to me with my lenses full of smudges

 

I remember when you were small

I got to hear your voice everyday

Now I get to here it only every now and then

When it’s time to get off the phone, its just so hard to let you go.

I never had a little sister or brother, but by reading this I can picture how it would have been :)
Very nice write, you're lucky to have a sister bond like that :)

A very sweet poem. Sisters are great, even if they're not always there. Well done.

I can tell that your little sister is your world. Even if the two of you are apart, you're still connected. The two of you will meet again and that connect will still be there and will only grow stronger. Keep up the great work. :)

I like the repetition in this and the sentiment.

Very loving and tender. Those phone calls can be so important, they ease the pain of separation a little bit at least.
