From Sister

My little sister, Kat, came home from school today and handed me a Christmas card she made me but left at school over vacation. It had a poem inside. It was adorable.


Naomi,
2010 comes to a close as New Years Eve draws near
And I just wanted to let you know how much I've changed this year.

I do my hair, it looks quite neat.
I clean my room. I'm starting to eat.
I dress up nice and don't complain.
I have friends to call when it starts to rain.

I'm trying hard to impress you today.
Whatever I do, I think, "What would she say?"
I love you a lot and I'm trying to show
I'm not who left four months ago.

2010 comes to a close as New Years Eve draws near.
I just wanted to remind you how much YOU'VE changed this year.

You're studying hard and sleeping short.
You've got a job of some sort.
Much more mature from Kelsey's wedding.
Brave and true to your college setting.

So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
That we've changed, it's perfectly clear.
2011 comes in a week.
So I end this card with a kiss on the cheek.

Merry Christmas,
Kat


My sister is eleven and I can easily admimt that her writing skills far surpass my own. She was writing better stories than me when she was in elementary school. I am so impressed with her work. While she is the better writer, she tells me all the time that she only started writing because I wanted to be a writer and she wanted to be just like me. I take pride in that because she was able to discover her true potential. She is amazing. I am so proud of her. My lil' sis. :)
