Growing up in the east of the 'hood
a shared bond with common blood
11 months divide a sister and brother
with a loving and caring father and mother
What of the sister and her early days?
the youngest of 8 and unique ways
a hundred teddies and a bunny called Bobby
a love of Duran Duran and a calligraphy hobby
She wore skinny jeans with long brown hair
an independent streak and a confident air
Beverley Hillbillies and it's ready wit
Granny, Ellie-Mae and Jed Clampett
House parties in the old huge abode
her own bedroon at 4 North Road
80s fashions, no social media or internet
mobile phones not invented yet
Always a sister and always a friend
strong and determined with an ear to lend
sharing my childhood with her was a pleasure
years of memories forever to treasure
