• Day 11 Little Sisters Grow Taller Than Me

  I told her to keep up

  To walk a little faster

  Her legs weren’t moving quick enough

  And she would fall behind

   

  I told her to listen

  To all I had learned

  The would was moving quick enough

  And she would fall behind

   

  And she stumbled along the way

  Scraped her knees and tore her clothes

  But she got back up without tears

  And hurried along

   

  Somewhere along the way

  She grew taller than me

  She read more books

  And curiosity caught the cat

   

  And she told me to keep up

  To walk a little faster

  I wasn’t moving quick enough

  And I would fall behind

   

  She told me listen

  To all there is to learn

  The world is moving quick enough

  And I would be left behind
