Love Poem: Dear Sister

Dear Sister

Dear Sister,
On this day, 
in a world that doesn't love us,
Doesn't appreciate us,
But always seems to need us,
To pick up the slack, 
To carry their burdens, 
on our already burdened backs,
To be a team player, 
On a team that had to be 
forced to pick us...
Dear Sister, 
I just want you to know
That I choose YOU, 
First, last, and always...
Without coercion, 
And with the only expectation, 
being the uniqueness 
of YOUR presence, 
And the presence 
of YOUR greatness.
Dear Sister, 
With baited breath, 
I await the culmination 
of your every effort.... 
the fruition of every one of your 
most far fetched dreams...
I am practicing my claps!
I am practicing my cheers!
I will celebrate your victory, 
as if it were my own, Dear Sister!  
Because, Dear Sister....
I will always want you to win.
