Ode to Erica


Ode to Erica and how I love thee...
****************************************
My sister Erica has amazing will power,
And even when she runs, she smells as sweet as a flower.
************
She made a decision and it really stuck,
She gives it her all and never passes the buck.
************
She has got amazing conviction,
She's da bomb, that's no contraditction.
************
She's bold and sweet, beautiful and kind,
In a world like this, that's an amazing find.
************
You all only wish you could have this kind of sister,
Today she ran a half marathon without a single blister.
************
She's really inspiring to all of us,
She helps to inform us without making a fuss.
************
She really admires Barack Obama,
She wants to help change the world, you go get 'em Mama!
************
Erica, I'm so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. You set a goal for youself and stuck with it, no excuses. I only wish one day I could grow up to be like my big sister.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
