The Elder Sister

go on
just try to hurt me
with words as sharp as the point of your black pen
or with ignorance...and arrogance

"little ones...how could you...?!"
oh elder sister,but they are your siblings...

so don't cry...
don't cry i say!
don't even carve a name on a stone
not even an alphabet on the white pearly sands

you are!yes you are!
you are the elder sister
strong and wise
protective and responsible

you are!you are the elder sister!
yes you make mistake
but recover dear sister!
recover fast!
your siblings needs you!
to be strong and wise

yes you can get weak sometimes...
but stand up!
stand up fast oh elder sister!
your siblings needs you!
be bold!be brave!
your siblings needs you!
to protect them 
and to take the role of a leader

patience...
patience oh elder sister...
don't use harsh words on the little ones
patience, oh patience dear sister
don't even let them know how much they hurt you
patience oh patience dear sister
you know better than to lose you temper
patience, oh patience dear sister
your words should contain advices rather than criticism

yes you are human
yes you can be hurt too
but grow up, grow up oh elder sister
don't act foolish and childish
your siblings are watching
they are always observing
your siblings are learning
aren't you their role model?

you are, you are the elder sister
kind and considerate
willing to make sacrifices...
you are, you are the elder sister
keep smiling and keep supporting the little ones
they need you to be happy
they need you to be supportive

you are the elder sister
be loving and caring to your siblings
spread love dear elder sister
with truth and sincerity
with no reason nor circumstances
spread love dear elder sister
like a garden of roses in the early spring

aren't you glad you're the elder sister?
so what if your siblings won't respect you
being the elder sister...
its not about winning
its not about having a fair life
its not about getting what we deserve

but its about making the right choices

the right choice might be painful sometimes
but life on earth is no place for you to rest
the pain and sufferings is your richness in the afterlife
the life you can never compare to this short time we have on earth

make the right choice oh elder sister
be;
strong..
wise...
brave...
protective..
supportive...
patience...
kind...
considerate...
sacrificing...
happy...
loving...
caring...


you are, you are the elder sister
wish for your death everyday as the elder sister
no matter who may your siblings be
be the elder sister

you are the elder sister
