~ Little Sisters ~

Little sisters,
Pretty, but not pretty enough.
Being the younger of two,
Or youngest of a plethora,
Can be equally tough.

Tagalongs,
Often forgotten.

Afterthoughts.

Annoying pests,
Pushed away.

Shunted into shadows,
(Go away, Ginny.
No girls allowed!)
(Not now, Gabrielle.
This is important.)
They find each other.

Little sisters
Understand each other
In a way no one else can.

Hesitant lips,
Which tremble to deliver a kiss,
Spill healing words,
With much thought,
And little effort.

(Girls are better anyway.)

(You're important, too.)

(That hex was more creative than any of your brothers' ones.)

(I don't think your sister is prettier than you.)
