"MY LITTLE SISTER"

Written By: Justin Rueb, 2004

The nice thing about little sisters,
Is how they steal your heart.
You end up loving them so, so much,
That it hurts to be apart.
The good thing about little sisters,
Is that they're so much fun.
You can read books to them, dance and sing,
Then go outside and run.
I wish for you the best things,
That the world can bring.
I wish one day you'll fall in love,
And get a wedding ring.
I wish for you the happiness,
That little girls deserve.
I hope that you'll grow big and strong,
And someday change the world.
I hope that you'll be prepared for life,
When you come of age.
Because at times life can be very hard,
The world's a scary place.
But that's what your family's for,
To teach you how to live.
We help you and we love you,
And watch you grow so big,
And as your big brother,
I'd protect you tooth and claw.
And as you take your steps in life,
I'd want to see it all.
I can't tell you how sad I am,
At all the things I've missed.
Your first words, first day of school,
And probably your first kiss.
I know I haven't been there for you,
The way I should have been.
But hopefully in my fight for freedom,
I will someday win.
And then I could see you,
And we could be good friends,
And we could take on side by side,
Whatever life may send.
But until then, make sure,
To learn all you can in school.
Knowledge gives you power,
And understanding too.
And the best thing about little sisters,
They very best, best part.
Is how they always hold the key,
To their big brother's heart
