Sister
Updated: Apr 21, 2018

Sister doesn’t play no games,
Sister tells it straight,
Sister doesn’t hold back words,
Sister isn’t always sweet.
Sister tells it like it is
In the jungle or in the streets
Sister is bonded to me by
More than just love’s blood,
Sister clears the air for me
Like only sister could.
Sister calls me Queen Bee
A butterfly learning to use my wings
Sister always reminds me
To consider every little thing
Sister respects our matriarchs and
Reminds me to do the same
Sister is more than just sister to me
The bond it has no name
For sister is me and I am her
Our lives are intertwined
Sister will always be sister
In and out of time.
