what a beautiful poem, and a great tribute to your big sister! your poem was so thrilling to read, as I am the youngest of three girls and i related to your poem very much. I do not have children, but my sisters do, and I have a sweet relationship with my nieces. thanks for sharing.

Comment from lyenochka
Aww! What an adorable pair of girls! Love that picture! You were the model big sister! I especially liked this couplet which made me smile:
"You tried to ditch the frowns and keep a smile upon your face,
And it was up to you to find the toys I would misplace."
Hope you do well in the contest!

I found her toys in the most unusual places. Not just under the bed. She always had to have her blanket and was losing that too...lol Thanks so much for reviewing.

Dear Mystery Writer,
This was a really fun and charming ode to a sister. It is wonderful when we know for sure there is someone in our corner.
The only time I raised a brow was on the formal gowns and dresses-- how could any of sister*s dresses be new when all she wore was second-hand clothes to start?
Cute. Thank you!

Ahhh. She Looked new, not was new. I altered them so she looked like the dress was new but was a hand me down I had worn from my cousin. I didn't think to alter them for me...lol Thanks so much for reviewing.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
Such a cute sister poem and I love it. I love the rhyming and the couplets structure. Now I wish I have had a sister like this. My sister, who is 10 years younger, is nothing like this. You are so lucky and she deserves this Ode poem.
Well done.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written ode to an older sister who usually takes the role of caring with the smaller kids when mothers are busy with other things and it is great to hear the younger siblings recognize their sacrifice.
