Being the Oldest

Being the Oldest

A Poem by Savanna Robbins

You feel your face tense up

Because your little sister is being a nuisance 

She’s following you, begging to play barbies

She admires you, and loves you greatly 

But as a teen, life becomes busy

A lot of pressure sits on your shoulders 

Exams, activities, school drama

And she can’t see the burden it is

But please remember, she’s only young once

Soak in this time with her

Because softness is to anger as what rain brings to snow

So think before you yell or act

Sometimes we need to slow down and push the stresses aside. We need to enjoy our family and friends; breathe and enjoy the moment.

This is a good poem that talk about growing up and teen years can be difficult.

I too am the eldest of five. Patience now will pay off in later yesrs:) Have wonderful relationships with my siblings. This is a sweet thoughtful poem that brought me back some lovely memories. Thank you.
