My Jenna

My Jenna

If I had a little sister,
I'd want her to be,
like mommy and daddy,
and especially me.

She'd have to be funny,
sunny and bright,
we'd laugh all day,
till we get in a fight.

She'd wear pretty dresses,
that go with her hair,
ponytails swinging,
from here to there.

She'd like to ride bikes,
we'd go for long hikes,
we would learn to fly kites,
together.

If she tripped and fell down,
she'd wear a frown,
as the tears run down,
her cheeks.

But in the end,
she'd be my friend,
smiling once again.

We'd say goodnight,
hug real tight,
sleep all night,
till morning light.

If I had a little sister,
I'd want her to be,
just like me.
