S is for Sister

S is for sister the proudest role I play 

I’m thankful for this position each and every day 

I was an only child until the age of three 

Then out of the womb, my sister came and joined me 

From the early days, Mom matched our bow and dress 

I hated matching but we did nevertheless 

Soccer, tennis, ballet, and cheer 

Enrolled in the same activities year after year 

And then when I turned six 

We added a brother into the mix 

Being the oldest of three is a very serious role 

The commander of the fam, I love to take control 

My siblings are an instant friend 

And to the death, I will defend 

The name calling the pranks, the constant jokes 

I miss living with them my dogs and my folks 

The kid’s group chat is the place to be 

And where we share the REAL family tea 

I love our weekly check-up facetime

They are the unwilling victims who proofread all these rhymes 

Of all the family they are my favorite relations 

They are the life of the party on family vacations 

So at the kids table, I’d like a permanent seat 

Without my siblings, I’d be incomplete 

I’m so lucky they made me a big sis 

If I didn’t write a blog about them, I’d sure be remiss
