Love you sis
I can't give you solutions to all of lifes problems, doubt's, or fears, but I can listen to you and together we will figure it out.I can't change your past with all its heartaches and pain, nor the future with its untold stories,decisions,and commitments, but I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling,I can only offer my hand that you may grab it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs,success and happiness are not mine yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make,nor to judge,I can only support you, encourage you, and try to help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendships,from your values, from me, I can only pray for you, talk to you,and wait for you with open arms.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,but I can give you room to grow and room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking or hurting, but I can cry with you and help pick up the pieces and put them back into place.
I can't tell you who you are, I can only love you unconditionally and be your big brother.

Your sister is very fortunate to have the unconditional love of a big brother like you, and I am sure she appreciates it and loves you also.
Loving and being loved in return is a priceless treasure
which gives meaning to human existence.
(Your writing is excellent. I think it makes a very good free verse poem for Poetry Corner.)
