A Little Sister Follows Me.....

I discovered this poem several months ago. As the oldest of four sisters, this has blessed me (and taught me) a good deal.

A Little Sister Follows Me

author unknown
A careful girl I want to be;

A little sister follows me.

I do not dare to go astray

For fear she'll go the selfsame way.

I cannot once escape her eyes;

Whate'er she sees me do, she tries;

Like me she says she's going to be-

That little sister following me.

She thinks that I am good and fine;

Believes in every word of mine.

The bad in me she must not see-

That little sister following me.

I must remember as I go,

Through summer's sun and winters snow;

I'm building for the years to be

That little sister following me. ~
