A Girl I Know

A Girl I Know

Let me tell you about a girl I know

A girl whom I admire

A role model we all could follow

To be this girl, we all desire

She is compassionate and nurturing

Yet strong and always stands tall

She is always there encouraging

She’s that person who catches you before you fall

She is the North Star guiding at night

The rain purifying the fog

The moon in the dark, providing light

She is the pathway out of a bog

She’s full of so much love, it’s endearing

How can it fit inside her, this big heart?

Overcome by adversity, yet persevering

This girl with whom you’ll wish never to part

In my heart she will always reside

I am providential enough to say

Through sisterhood this girl and I are tied

And I would not have it any other way

My little sister, Kamrin, wrote this for me a few years ago.  I found it the other day and was reminded again of how truly blessed I am to have such an amazing and talented sister.  She likes to remind me of how I told her that she could never make any real money as a professional poet, and I would like to officially post that I think that she could TOTALLY prove me wrong.  (In my defense, I was not very old when I told her that, LOL)  Thank you, Drew.  Love you, sista.  *muah*
