A big sister’s love plays
When little brother or sister
Want to pounce and jump.

A big sister’s love glows
When reading books together
For the twentieth time.

A big sister’s love endures
When loose lips and fists
Bring harshness and anger.

A big sister’s love inquires
When tears leak out of eyes
And sadness springs forth.

A big sister’s love receives
When little ones give gifts
Of dandelions or partial bites.

A big sister’s love takes
When danger or injury
Might result from carelessness.

A big sister’s love gives
When sharing toys or snacks
Gives joy to the little ones.

A big sister’s love teaches
When little brother and sister
Need to learn what love is.
