To My Sister on Her 16th Birthday

Cinna, today you turn sixteen
So, if you'll take advice from me
A bit of sisterly wisdom I'll impart
From my four extra years and my heart:
Listen to Mama, she knows most everything
Never give in to your insecurity
Boys will lie, and men will too
Don't let stupid people get to you
Keep an open mind, and an open heart
Make sure you can finish what you start
Don't be afraid to get a little crazy
After all, it runs in the family
Think before you decide to pick a fight
It's good to laugh, and it's okay to cry
When you fall down, get right back up
And always remember that you are loved
