Grown

To my eldest little sister,
My own built-in best friend,
You're ready to start your life anew,
Into adulthood you must ascend.

We all knew this day was coming,
Someday you had to mature,
Leaving home is not easy,
So I'm here to reassure.

You're much stronger than you think,
You share my blood after all,
But any time you feel scared or alone,
Just give your big sister a call.

I'll smash out all of your doubts,
I'll be bigger than your fears,
I'll seek blood from those who hurt you,
Then I'll come wipe your tears.

Let my love travel with you,
It will reach wherever you roam,
But don't forget where you came from,
Your family is always your home.
