Hair so Brown and Eyes so Blue

Hair so Brown and Eyes so Blue
A poem dedicated to my sister

Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

Your voice,
So tiny,
Calls out in joy
As you reach for me.

Your fist,
So small,
Is barely large enough
To hold onto my finger. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

Your steps,
So light,
Are full of delight
As you walk my way.

You stubble,
You fall,
You learn to crawl
And then to dance about. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

Your voice,
It’s raised,
As you yell out
For someone to play with.

Your hair,
So soft,
Is in two braids
As you clutch your doll. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

You gulp,
You’re nervous,
You’re afraid of night
For next will come day.

You hold,
That violin,
So delicately in hands
That are shaking with fright. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

You pack,
Many bags,
Give your friends hugs
And ready for an adventure.

You leave,
With tears,
But face the world
With a mask of strength. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

You’ve come,
So far,
Along this long road
That is your lovely life.

You’ve grown,
You’ve changed,
You’ve learned the game
And are reaching another door. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

Very soon,
Too soon,
You will be graduated
And on your way again.

You’ll learn,
To crawl,
To walk and run
And even who you are. 


Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

I am,
So very,
Very proud of you
And who you have become.

A joy,
It’s been,
To be your sister
As you’ve paved your way. 



Hi there,
Little girl,
With hair so brown
And eyes so blue.

Please remember,
Don’t forget,
Where ever life leads
I will always love you.
