emma

poem. 30 august 2009

emma belongs to the following groups:

have i ever told you,
you’re the
prettiest
girl in your class
did you know,
i want to teach you
all i can
every day i hope
i’ll be on the
receiving end
of a call
that says
“i just need to talk to
you”
and one day
when you’re older
i know my
bouquet will
fall
into your little hands
and hopefully
you’ll still
point and smile and say
“hey, that’s my
big sister”
and you won’t be ashamed
to understand
that i’m not
really yours
and i don’t
want you to be
mad at me
for being
jealous
of everything
you
have
because i know
beyond a
shadow of a doubt
that i would do
anything
and then some
if you needed me to
because that’s
what big sisters are
for.
