Little Sister Am I Poem by Sally Campbell

Little sister am I to brothers five
Mom and Dad’s precious little girl
With trees to climb and skirts to twirl
To please each one indeed I strive

Love never ending all is mine
Although alone I wish to say
Give me a moment just for today
And leave me never for all time

When I am sad be there for me
Wipe my tears and hold my hand
While moments flee to laugh again
Such tears of joy eyes cannot see

Suppertime, and Mama calls come
When all is right to our delight
Tis’ end of day, into the night
Joy from the heart now sung

Tho' time may quickly move unseen
No distance shall ever part
What is now remains as from the start
When all was truth, now tis’ my dream

Little sister am I to brothers five
Mom and Dad’s precious little girl
With trees to climb and skirts to twirl
Now only tears to cry

In visions now I see each face
Mom and Dad and brothers five
To please each one indeed I strive
Till together again, by God’s grace.
