The oldest child, I am of four. Without the others, I'd be no more. <br />They pick me up, they shove me down, they make me smile, they make me frown. <br />My greatest friends! I love so much. A life of hell, we've seen so much. <br />And through it all. It brings me pride. The bond we feel. Forever tied. <br />While many sibs, are filled with hate. It's not for us, we can't relate. <br />Stuck in the middle, our parents behavior. The other the bad guy, but neither a savior. <br />Year after year, abuse and neglect, childhood unstable, we all now reflect. <br />Step-parents and juvies, through years split apart, but each of us carried, those 3 in our heart. <br />So this one's for you, I swell with such pride, who shared in the torment, when innocence died. <br /> <br /> <br />Ryan the odd name, no k or no c. <br />A few of the traits, that have always made me. <br /> <br />Religious and Caring, <br />Youthful and Daring, <br />Attentive and Smart, <br />Noble at Heart. <br /> <br />Kyle my twin, but not really so, <br />But inside and out, each other we know. <br /> <br />King of the Jesters, <br />Yardstick like gestures, <br />Laughter's Musician, <br />Exudes Competition. <br /> <br />Kara's free spirit, a beautiful soul, <br />but life with 3 brothers, her sleeves she will roll. <br /> <br />Knowledge Astounding, <br />Astrology Abounding, <br />Rare as a diamond, <br />Alone as an island. <br /> <br />Corey the youngster, king tinny maker, <br />he's brash and he's brave, but never a faker. <br /> <br />Clever and Sharing, <br />Ornery and Caring, <br />Rambunctious and Blaring. <br />Energetic and Willful, <br />Youngest and Skillful. <br /> <br />Just one more thing, as the hours passed by, next time I do this, I'm skipping the Y! ! ! <br /> <br />© 2013 L.K.Sorrows<br /><br />Little King of Sorrows<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-siblings-2/
