Mother and Sister

I'm your sister
I'm your mother
I'm the one you took for granted
The one that had to grow up fast

The one that had to feed you
The one that changed your diaper
The one that played with you
The one that stayed with you

The one who comforted you
The one who read to you
The one who walked with you
The one who talked with you

I'm your sister
I'm your mother
I was a child
And you were my baby brother
