Dearest Sister

 dearest sister

it's hard to admit that i've missed her

but it's been a long time since i've seen you

and i wonder what you're up to

 

Because we've lost contact i think up silly things i imagine you've done

walking around in the sun having fun

speaking to koalas or befriending kangaroos

the typical silly things that you do

 

You're having a great time

and by me this is fine

but it scares me that i wont be a part

in this chapter in your life

 

you'll look back into your the gallery of memories

from childhood victories 

and adult flings

but i'm lost in all these things

 

I'm just brother 

i might of been a bother

but i won't you to look back on my life

without a memory of strife

 

how about that time we started shouting out road signs to annoy mum

not the time i pushed you and you landed on your bum

or the time i twisted your arm all the way around

but time's we've made each other proud

 

must admit it's been pretty weird acting as an only child

I can't wait for you to get home

so i will no longer be lonely

Note: Well i planned on writing a poem about somebody murdering their family but it turned out to be one about me missing my sister. I have to say though, i am actually happy my sister is growing up and living her own life, it just wouldn't of been as interesting.

I really ehjoyed this poem Josh. I've never thought before about how it would feel to be the youngest child left at home when the older one goes off having adventures. (God, that sounds like an Enid Blyton story - if you've ever heard of her! but hopefully you know what I mean!) I'm an only child myself.
