Big Sister

My very first friend-
that our mommy pre-made,
there to make me laugh
and keep me safe when I was afraid.
Walked with me to school-
so I didn't go alone,
Listened, without me knowing,
talking to someone on the phone.
Put me in my place when
I'd get tough- or I'd at least try,
Stuck up for to bullies
or anyone who'd make me cry.
Taught me to be a good girl-
and get in lots of trouble too,
What did I want to be
when I grew up?
I wanted to be just like you!!
