Aliva, Alivia,
Innocent Alivia,
Grow up to be strong,
Learn right from wrong,
Be the top of your class,
but don't live life fast.
Feel your heart when it beats,
Hear your head when it speaks.
Always wish upon a star,
So your dreams won't be far.
Remember to keep a smile on your face,
Even if everything is out of place.
And at the end of the day,
Always bow your head to pray
To thank the Lord
For his love and grace.

Just a few months ago my little sister, Alivia, was born. Being many years older than her, i wanted to give her advice so that she will have it when she needs it.

I hope she does because im not around her to actually help her or give her advice like big sisters are suppose to do.  But this poem basically summs up what all i could tell her if I was around all the time. and thank you for the compliment and the comment :)
