little sister

in the long, long run - who really cares?

undoubtably it isn't the people you're inners are craving to be just like

the faces you're trying to match

the characteristics you spend hours in the mirror trying to find

little girl i wish you saw the beautiful you i see when i gaze at you

God made you, YOU because no one could do it better

in the long, long run - i'll care

i'll be your one last person who thinks the world of you

i'll be the rock with no judgement or criticism

i'll be the open arms and the shoulder to cry on when you crave it

the idols you've chosen to pick out of the cold garden are beautiful

they have a lot

but they aren't worth your time and tears

choose a new garden where the sun shines, constantly

plant your own seeds, grow your own path

be yourself

i'll be right beside you, always

a promise i'll never forget to keep

love who you are the way i love you

because

in my eyes you are leagues above even the very best

you are miles ahead and years beyond

you are you and there is no soul sweeter, better or more perfect

than you to be

you.
