"She Grows"
She grows up
She's not the same as she was first born
she grew bigger than I had imagined
She's more taller
and has a beautiful stance whenever she aligns her feet underneath
the doorway of my room
inviting me to play games with her
but I always refuse because I am tired
She grows up
she still has the same face
the same long, black, and curly hair
that everyone in my family has except for me
the same colour of eyes
the colour of dark brown that passes down in our family
but they developed beacuse
She grows up
she begun changing
her mood is drifting off that I can not tell if she is
mad or sad
I ask for a kiss on the cheek from her
but she grumbles at me and turns away
she begun covering her eyes
so she wouldn't have to look up to me
to hide her sight whenever upset
at something I had done
I see her less in my room
She grows up
I hear her fight with my brother more
over the small things
the small things that she had said that was more important than
my feelings
she doesn't listen to me anymore
I recommend what's right for her
That the headphones she borrowed, she has the volume way too loud for her
small ears, that it's going to damage them, that
she starts to kick me for she doesn't agree
her legs grew longer and slim
giving her the height of four feet
so very close to my height
she would tower me when older
is it wrong to say I want her to stay small
but more days pass by
and she
she grows up
I remember the moments we share together
especailly about her
I love every moment
the way she
acts whenever she is with me
looks whenever she is with me
plays whenever she is with me
dance whenever she is with me
talks whenever she is with me
sings whenever she is with me
runs whenever she is with me
learns whenever she is with me
smiles whenever she is with me
cries whenever she is with me
and
grows up whenever she is with me
but
I wish that time could stay still
that it should stay still
for I could watch her forever
and care for her forever
and be the older sister that I am
but
as she grows up
I grow up too
