To Little Sisters that Grow Taller than Me

I told her to keep up

To walk a little faster

Her legs weren't moving quick enough

And she would fall behind

I told her to listen

To all I had learned

The would was moving quick enough

And she would fall behind

And she stumbled along the way

Scraped her knees and tore her clothes

But she got back up without tears

And hurried along

Somewhere along the way

She grew taller than me

She read more books

And curiosity caught the cat

And she told me to keep up

To walk a little faster

I wasn't moving quick enough

And I would fall behind

She told me listen

To all there is to learn

The world is moving quick enough

And I would be left behind
