I bathe her, feed her, and give her want she wants.
I know she has me but, am I enough.
She's restless and giddy,
playful and energetic.
I feel like her and I's connection is just magnetic.
She's mostly happy on the outside,
but I feel like on the inside she feels torn.
She feels like"her heart is being ripped out".
Although she hides it well, i can tell.
She's the best thing that's ever happened to me....
Little Sister...

- Comment from author about the poem: My sister is 8. She means a lot to me and with everything going on in our lives I feel like she bottles up her emotions. I want to know how she feels, but its hard to just ask, especially with her being so young. Shes very strong and beautiful. She's the best gift I've ever received..

Beautiful testimony of your love for your sister - she is lucky to have a big sister like you. I grew up with three brothers and just one little sister. With so many of us we didn't have a whole lot of money but I wouldn't trade the good times we had (and still have) together for all the money in the world. Keep writing these poems to her and one day, you will be able to present a stack of them for her to read and she will see for herself your great love for her. Nice rhyming pair in "energetic" and "magnetic"...
Thank you so much for your input. My sister and I mostly just have each other. I've raised her on my own since the age of 9. Our parents were and are deep into drugs, but our dad left us with our mom and she only got worst. Our mother was never home. We never ate. We didn't have our basic needs. My sister is now 8 but with everything that has happened to us she has just bottled up her emotions. She finds it hard to express her emotions. But again thank you so much for your input it's what keeps me writing things like this. Writing helps her cope with things as well, I'm glad her and I share the same talents.
You are such a wonderful young girl, full of love, full of care, full of energy, and most important, you have such a strong heart.
I am deeply moved, not only by your poem, but also by what you are doing. Your little sister is so lucky to have you.
Thank you so much. This comment means a lot to me! I try very hard to keep my sister happy and healthy and this drives me to do better for her! My parents never took interest in what I do even to this day. What horrible things they've done with their lives and taking care of my sister pushed me to be something better then they were. I want to be something. I want to be able to leave something behind for my sister that shows her I really care and that I'm here for her no matter what. But once again thank you soooo much for your input and encouraging thoughts!!
You are a wonderful young lady - cherish your sister always and help keep her on the straight and narrow - why am I saying this as I know you will and - do please - keep writing great poetry.
Thank you so much. I just got off of work because I want to surprise my sister with a new pair of earrings she saw and wanted so shhh 😉 i love my sister to bits so I work hard in order for her to have the things she wants. But again thank you for your input and time. As you will see, I will continue to write poetry, as well as cherish my sister for the rest of my living days.
You are one of life's treasures
After reading your excellent poem and your comments about your situation, my heart goes out to you. You are a very very strong, and a shining example. Keep on going like this, and please, keep on writing!
Thank you so much. I've been through a lot and I'll continue to write because it is how I cope. I stand through a lot but I come out stronger each time so once again thank you!
