&quot;She turned her can&#039;t into cans<br /> <br /> and her dreams into plans&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie


Hair as wild as
a lion’s mane.

Eyes dark brown like
cocoa grains.

Her voice beautiful like
a lullaby.

Her laugh contagious like
a catchy summer song.

She stands tall and proud like
a tropical bird proud of its feathers.

Her smile melts my heart like
the sun melts ice.

Her tears slice through
me  like a knife.

She shines like
diamonds in the sky.

She is my blood and
my bones.

That electric lady is my sister.

My sister is the most amazing 10 year old I have ever met.When we were asked to brainstorm in class about a topic for a new piece in class,I thought about her.It expresses the way I see her and the love and admiration I feel for her.
