This is for my little sister, she always wanted to know how I felt about her.
I've been lucky enough to face life first
To have experiences and failures
We don't have much of a bond
Which breaks my heart
There are lessons along the way that has helped me be the person I am today
I want nothing more than to share them with you
As a big sister sometimes I feel like I failed because you don't take me seriously
I just love to see you laugh
Sometimes I be wanting us to be best friends since I don't have none
You are a great cook
Very stylish
Seem to be intelligent too
I remember when they took my car away
You became the big sister
Forever I'll be thankful
Forever I will always have your back and it's always been like that
Forever I will be one call away
No matter if it's my last dollar I'll make sure you straight
Through the ups and downs remember I'm here when others turn their backs
You know, it’s hard being a big sister sometimes
I always feel like I have to act perfect, look perfect, be perfect in order for you to appreciate who I am
Yet when I think these thoughts, I need to remind myself that I am human – and so are you
Sister, please don’t make the same mistakes I've made
I’m here to guide you through them
There are many times I wish I could help carry you
I apologize for the times I’m rough, blunt and sharp around the edges
Never forget who you are
When the world tells you that you are nothing, remember who He made you to be
Loved
Cherished
Honored
Beautiful
Don’t live this life searching for what the world can offer
Search for what God has already offered
Believe me, I’ve searched for worldly things and in the end, I came back empty-handed, tired, bruised, and defeated
Things I wished I could tell my younger self
Don't waste time
Worry less, pray more
Yes you are worth it
Learn your lesson the first time
Save money
Set boundaries for yourself
You don't need a man to make you happy
Be your own best friend
I just want the best for you- always have
Love yourself first most importantly
Wish we could go back to playing dolls and sharing rooms
Singing a-long Hannah Montana
Those were the best days
