Teen Boy
IN THE EYES OF MY LITTLE SISTER
In the eyes of my little sister
I am her big brother
I am like no other
She looks up to me
like one might look up to the midnight sky
So full of wonder
Trying to take everything in.
Always listening
Always watching
Her big brother
Who needs to set a good example
for what to do in life.
For she is always listening
She is always watching
She is always there
So full of wonder
I am always in the eyes of my little sister.
