Morning and evening, Pretty girl, I've watched you cry, Subject to this Goblin world That made you scared to try. I hope you know that you're the sweetest fruit Anyone could hope to buy, And you've grown up on the strongest branch, That lifts you close up to the sky. My dearest little sister, Please don't fear the dawning of each day. I hope you know that I'll be there, to hold your hand all the way. For there is no friend like a sister, And your friend I'll always stay.

To Strengthen Whilst One Stands: A Letter to my Sister
Morning and evening, Pretty girl, I've watched you cry, Subject to this Goblin world That made you scared to try. I hope you know that you're the sweetest fruit Anyone could hope to buy, And you've grown up on the strongest branch, That lifts you close up to the sky. My dearest little sister, Please don't fear the dawning of each day. I hope you know that I'll be there, to hold your hand all the way. For there is no friend like a sister, And your friend I'll always stay.
For my little sister. Written very quickly, with nods to my favourite Christina Rossetti poem "Goblin Market"
