Every moment of the day,
I have a special duty.

A duty to protect you from the sorrows of life,
And to keep pain from reaching you.

I try to protect and shelter you,
From the hardships of life.

It used to be easy to protect you,
But it is not anymore.

We are both growing older,
And you know longer want my help.

But I hope that you know,
This task is a difficult one for me too.

While I'm pushing you away from danger,
You are pulling with all your might towards it.

And at times I have to wonder,
If you are just doing this to torture me.

Making my duty impossible to fulfill,
Just to make your life easier.

I hope that you realize why I do this though,
The reason that I keep your life sheltered and safe.

It is because you a special to me,
And because I am your onii-san.

And no matter how much you pull away from me,
You will always be my imouto-chan.
