Analysis of My older sister
Amanda Streeb 1987 (Anderson)
To my older sister:
You are my big sister
Born from the same parents
Raised in the same home
Played with the same toys
As we grew we went separate way.
When we were grown went went out on our own.
I wish we had been closer
Now your gone left too soon
I miss you so the pain is so real
This can't be happening
It isn't real
How can I deal with the whole you left.
You will always be in my heart and mind.
