Baby Sister Poem by Jonathan Maldonado

Baby Sister

Rating: 4.2


Beautiful baby sister
how you have bloomed.
long was the winter before the spring
I noticed the slightest resemblance
of a beautiful young lady in your eyes.
Soon your lips shall feel
the soft press of love's kiss,
at least what you thought was love.
Soon your heart shall feel it's first break
left in the dark shadow
of the coldest shoulder ever to be cast,
but surely not to be last.
Soon you will be judged and critiqued
by all who you've passed
on beauty and physique.
Soon you will feel the pressure
of the world a top your shoulders,
and carry you will try.
Soon you will be a woman...dying to be
a little girl again.

A poem so easy to read with the last two lines carrying the message. We all yearn to be older while young yet long for our youth when older.
