The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt


You conquer the world one stride at a time.
Demolishing your fears with me at hand.
Through a trot or a step, your moves, they chime.

But your hasty words dance about in rhyme.
With smiles or smirks, I know not where I stand.
You conquer the world one stride at a time.

You stroll so tall as I toddle behind.
Still the shove comes and on my knees I land.
Through a trot or a step, your moves, they chime.

As the years passed on, I have come to find,
That though you are mine, you are in demand.
You conquer the world one stride at a time.

Constantly I reach and tighten our bind,
The knot will fail in the clutch of my hand.
Through a trot or a step, your moves, they chime.

For dear sister, you are one of a kind.
Our love is an hourglass seeping sand.
You conquer the world one stride at a time.
Through a trot or a step, your moves, they chime.

I have come to find that sometimes the people you rarely see, are the ones that impact you the most. I miss my sister.
