Big Sister
February 13, 2016
She grew up too fast,
Pulled every which way
Took the fall for me when I was in harm’s way
Held my hand
Wiped my tears
told me everything would be alright
Drew on a smile for my sake,
Painted me a permanent blue sky with the the hues of her heartbreak,
And used her brokenness to heal me
Crafted her tears into armour,
Fashioned her soul into a sword
Welded her mind into a golden locket
And she became my shield.
