Sibling Empty Nest Syndrome

In honor of poetry month and because I'm feeling silly and sentimental at the same time about my baby sister leaving for college this fall, I bring you this little ode...

We be three siblings, faithful and true

Soon baby will fly from the nest, 

we are not ready to feel blue 

The first one to leave the area,

what will mom ever do

She will care for the dog,

the older brother and sister, too

We will have it pretty bad

No need to have a long boo hoo

for mom will be getting ready

she has her (nonexistent) future grand kids to look forward too
