Little Sister

I love you
 and the warm glow
 that dances off your cheeks
 when sunlight meets your face. 

      I love you
 and the gentle touch
 of your hands on my face
 when you tell me 
you love me.

        I love you 
and the sweet look in your eyes
 when you share your secrets, when you listen to mine.     
     I love you 
and the smile that you grace me with
 when I see you; 
Every time.

          I love you
 and the raw wild spirit
 that you barely contain, that erupts inside you 
and makes you
 that volcanic being that you are. 

     I love you.
