Role Model

By Alexis Baun
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 7

I want to be a role model
I want to have a little sister so she can look up to me
I want her to do everything with me
I want to teach her how to have fun

I want to be a role model
Who helps her when she is in trouble
Who makes her feel better when something bad happens
Who protects her if someone wants to hurt her
Who shows her how to love

I want to be a role model
That shows her how to be a good person
That some things in life aren’t fair
That everything will be ok
That she is my star

I want to be a role model
To show her right from wrong
To tell her always be true to yourself
To teach her how to help others
To show her how to make friends
To always be kind to others

I want to be a role model
Who loves her
