A boy on my right and a boy on my left,

I was sandwiched in between as the only girl, no less

Then when I was three and my brothers two and four

My mother announced we were getting one more

One day in late August my mother went away

And my father explained the baby was coming that day

I waited and waited for the phone call to arrive

For my mother to tell me the new sibling surprise

“It’s a girl!” they shouted, “It’s a girl come and see”

Finally, I cried, another girl like me

I was happy and excited to meet the bundle of joy

And eagerly awaited to show her all my toys

Three days later my new sister came home

We finally met and it wasn’t over the phone

I loved my little sister, like a new baby doll

Only she was soft, she could cry and she was super small

My sister got bigger and as all babies do

Until it was 2001, I was four and she was two

Together we’d go on adventures with her fluffy cat

Or we’d play dress up games while wearing fancy hats

Then we got older and it stopped being fun

Our games turned into hit and run

We’d argue and cry till my mother come along

She’d break us apart and scold us for our wrongs

Together forever turned into forever apart

As our meanness broke our mother’s heart

Then one day we chose a movie to see

Suddenly it was like when she was one and I three

We began hanging out, slowly at first

And the wall built between us suddenly burst

Together again, it was like we were never apart

We discovered common interests in music, TV shows and art

Funny and smart with an artistic talent

We’re still sisters who tell the other to can it

Whether we laugh or we cry

My sister has stood by my side

She’s my best friend and I just want the world to see

Just how awesome my sister can be
