Analysis of My Sister
Kassey James Hoege 1967 (Madison, Wisconsin)
My sister is someone,
I could always tease.
Know she'd forgive me
just by saying please.
My sister is someone,
in whom I can confide.
All those pains or emotions,
that torment me inside.
My sister is someone,
I care for and protect.
Her honor I will defend,
when shown disrespect.
My sister is someone,
like her there is no other.
I love her with all my heart,
and am proud to be her brother.
