Tribute to my militarily sisterA Poem by Linda alexanderWho influenced me a lot, may be my sister who is workaholic, strict, but good at heart
She is my militarily sister
She carved me to become a person somewhat similar to her She woke me at five in the morning to study when I am in grammar school I comfortably slept at the dining table with my text book wide open She bought books after books and i read some of them She was so strict, did not accept my grades if it is below ninety five percentile She arranged for private tuition for math even if I was top two percentile in my class She was my first enemy, in those age I argued with her, sometimes harsh even, sorry i was a teen She was a workaholic, loved her family She excused me when I was simply slacked in kitchen She barely depended anyone most of the time She managed almost everything herself She was hardworking every single time I can remember I am not sure how we became similar, is the gene or the the way she brought me up She loved our father a lot I know for sure I am loving my father a lot now I can't believe my miltarily sister is this much close to my heart
