My Sister’s Frown

By Alexis Cabrera

 

As a little girl she was happy

Like a little honey bee

Now

Something bothers her

 

My sister looks lonely and cries

With tears of rainy skies

But I can’t figure out what is wrong

I try to make her feel better by going up to her

Asking what is wrong

But then she turns away

And goes to a frown

 

Ever since her father left

Down a troubled hill

She carried that frown

That she had dragged down.

 

We all try so hard

But it never works

I wish so hard that

Her father

Was here

To help.

 

If he was here

He could help

To make that frown

Turn upside down
