LITTLE
SISTER OF MY OWN
A little girl, bright and well behaved
For a companion she really craved
For a little sister of her own
Toys many but no one to play with
Friends many who had a sibling fifth
She too wanted a little sister of her own
"Why don't I have one?", she asked her mother
Prayed to god every night, not for a brother
But to give her a little sister of her own
They say God indeed works in mysterious ways
Soon her mother was expecting to everyone's amaze
She was excited to have a little sister of her own
The family elders were biased and wanted a boy
They were traditional and didn't know a girl's joy
But she strongly wanted a little sister of her own
She didn't care for their hopeless opinion
She wasn't going to become their minion
She wanted to have a little sister of her own
She dreamed of all the games she would play
And all the fun she would have everyday
When she had a little sister of her own
She counted the days until she would see her
It was her strongest known desire ever
To have a little sister of her own
When it was finally time, she was against the elders
But with a smile, the gods answered her prayers
She was blessed with a little sister of her own
She felt on top of the world and was overjoyed
The elders wept with grief and were deeply annoyed
Her wish came true to have a little sister of her own
It felt like a magical power of the universe
She couldn't believe this miracle did traverse
She finally had a little sister of her own!
