I Wish For You

So I have to blog 250 words a day for my Creative Writing class. I know, rough class. For today's writing I wrote a poem about what I hope college is for my little sister who started college yesterday. I have been reflecting a lot on how different our college experiences will be. I am grateful that she is not doing the hard way like me.

I wish for you.

I wish so much for you, my precious baby sister.

To see you so young, so alive, so carefree.

Your story yet unwritten.

I am elated and jealous all at once.

I wish for you.

I wish college to be everything.

A new experience.

An exciting time.

Limitless possibilities.

I wish for you.

I wish that you savor this time.

Enjoy every minute.

Soak up the experience.

Learn about you and the life you want.

I wish for you.

I wish for you joy and happiness.

Life and love.

Going down the path you choose.

And looking back with no regrets.

I wish for you...

for my Sammi
