To My Baby Sister
by Freya Dunbar
On this day, you were born.
And since that time, my life has never been the same.
You were so cute and fragile
But I was soon to learn
That you were demanding and independent.
You were the agressor, the bossy baby.
But that's ok, cause I love you anyway.
You were my baby sister
And I had to look out for you.
But sometimes, once or twice
You had to watch out for me too.
Growing up wasn't always fun.
With all those chores
Who knew that you could stack wood?
Now on this day you are 16
You can be rude, and sometimes mean.
But that's ok, I'm used to it by now.
You are growing up before my eyes
And lordy, lordy!
What a big surprise!
You do like boys after all.
It doesn't seem that long ago
When you were pudgy cheeked and ready to go.
You can play the piano like no one I know.
Growing up wasn't always fun.
We laughed, we cried
Sometimes even beat each other up.
But through it all, we have survived
You may be another year older
But you are still my baby sister.
You've gone through so many stages
It's hard to keep up.
We've travelled around the world
Shared ice cream and so much more.
We don't always get along
Or see eye to eye.
But through it all we've stayed strong.
You do not lack for fashion sense
Though it was questionable not too long ago.
Your room is filled with rodents
But I guess we all need a hobby.
You go through friends like underwear
But never lack for companionship.
You love Brad Pitt and animals too
And guess what? I do too.
You always said that you'd never miss me.
But now isn't it ironic
That you can't get enough of me.
This is your birthday present
A memory book from me to you
Because it doesn't matter how old you get
You'll still be me baby sister.
