A Family Sonnet…To the “Reverend”

To my favorite sister---My protector as a little girl;

No bullies, bullied me, and to me that meant the world;

My favorite sister---I guess that was God’s will;

You always made time for me; even when I was ill;

Then you grew up; and to college you would go;

Falling in love;

And marrying your true beaux;

A husband, two children, and grand-kids to boot;

If only they knew;

 That our childhood was a hoot;

A bookworm growing up; you were something of a nerd;

We joke and call you “Reverend;” the master of the word;

You remind me the most of mother; a social butterfly;

My favorite big sister---till the day I die.
