Little sister


Though you never know it,
I will always sit, over you
Protecting you as I never was,
Spare you, maybe from terror known
To me, nothing I can flee
Deep in me, now without cure
But you’ll see, everything will be alright,
I stay up all night, if you want

Don’t cry, nightmares fade,
Life is hard, indeed,
But take stead in this;
I will always be there.
My duty as big brother,
Instilled by loving mother,
Nothing I deny,
To uphold till I die.

You heal the pain in me,
Bright eyes, contagious smile
Childhood innocence,
Mine long lost, what a cost!

Grace fades, glory notwithstanding
Hell may freeze, but I’d crawl on my knees,
Before I let the disease infect you, as well.
My wounds run deep, no matter the light you give me,
I’ll never be alright, but for you
I fight.

The unspoken bind between siblings comes out in full view in this poem. Great poem.

This is a beautiful poem. I've always wanted a big brother. Your sister is lucky to have you!

Very good poem. It explains what we all feel for our younger siblings. Good expression.

your poem made me feel better. My little sister died little under a year ago and I miss her like crazy. It's good to know there's someone else who doesn't hate their siblings. Check out my poem, Baby Emily.
Thanx
