Tribute to my militarily sister

Tribute to my militarily sister

A Poem by Linda alexander
"

Who 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
