My Little Sister
Long ago while just a boy
My sister Beth was born.
And that was when I first began...
'My life with little sister'.
The older siblings sped ahead,
To live their lives abroad
Leaving me...to keep an eye
On Beth, 'My little sister.
Named after a family friend,
Her middle name was Jo...
But she was always known to me
As just 'My little sister'.
For many years...twas just us two
Together with our mom...
Precious times while growing up
With Beth, 'My little sister'.
Eventually, we both grew up,
And went to live our lives;
And though she now has kids her own...
She's still 'My little sister'.
Today she has some grandkids too,
And lives quite far away.
But to me...shes not a 'Grandma Beth'...
She's still just 'Little Sister'.
Today she is a little older...
We'll just say "under 50"
And though we're neither one real young
...she's still 'My Little Sister'.
Love you Beth! Happy Birthday
