Me and Her


Desire to Inspire? 

Who wouldn't be...

with the sun in your face

and your shining bright eyes, 

I can't help but laugh that 

you and me 

get to conquer the world. 

 

Every day, when I walk outside those walls 

down those gloomy dark halls, 

when the days are tough,

I trudge on. 

 

You make me want to work hard, 

to be the best I can be, 

studying for hours, taking tests, going to dance practice, 

I know you look up to me. 

 

In setting an example, 

or in helping you out,

doing your hair before school, 

I have gotten to know 

the coolest person around. 

 

You also inspire me. 

Four years younger, 

and yet still the person I go to for advice. 

The wisest person around. 

 

You're my little sister. 

Thanks for sharing the world with me.
