My Sister is My Shadow

by Sydney Clapper
(New Enterprise, PA)

I always put myself first,because life hurts
You are both my mirror and my opposite
Doing what I do and taking the chances
Getting into trouble and sharing the blame
But there is something I must confess
When you look up at me I am never the best
You walk in my shoes therefore you are my shadow
Night and day your always there sharing my emotions in some way
I know you do not see it now but i will always be there for you somehow
No matter what you do or say I will always love you
And I know you to feel the same way
We will each be each others' tissue when we cry
And each others lullaby that puts us to sleep each night
