I love the way the world revolves around you, though you’re always moving.
I love it how you think you’re winning, even when you’re losing.
I love it how your smile can make even the sun brighten a bit.
I love it how you face the world, and how beautifully you see it.
I love it how even in darkness, you help me find my way.
I love it how you are a dot of color, in a sea of gray.
I love you, my sister, my only best friend; I’ll be there for you until the very end.

This is about my sister who has autism. I wrote a poem about her when I was really angry with her, to remind myself how much I love her.

Aw, this is a sweet poem.  Sometimes it's hard not to be frustrated with your siblings.  Despite this, you always love them. :)
