To A Sister

What will I put in my hair

Of all these dresses what should I wear

Strawberry sweet or amber spice

Which one should I spray

Which one will entice

Which color paint should I put on my face

Which kind of lashes will heighten the chase

 

I will call my sisters to help settle the scene

To debate about how I may sparkle and beam

 

What if I called to a sister afar

What if she never heard of living up to such par

What if she has seen so many pursuits

What if instead of beautiful she was only just cute

What if she knew of my dress

For it was her mother she tried to confess

What if she asks much more then I've ever

But her questions are real and they make me tremor

 

What if I can do more then say sorry

For those sisters who are sold as inventory
