Gulf
I am 17
Standing
On the Gulf
Beach near Port
Arkansas with my
Brother three sisters
And parents in a breeze
Having just tumbled out of
The car after a four-hour drive
From San Antonio enjoying the feel
Of sand on our feet the sun bright
Above and I notice my younger
Sister with whom I regularly
Fight is staring out to sea
Looking remarkably too
Attractive to be my Sis
Which surprises me
As I have known
Her all her life
But just saw
Her grown
Up for the
First time
Realizing
My sibs
Will be
My
Friends
For life my
Reserve in bad
Times when I need
Help but at the time
I just thought gee
Whiz my little
Sister looks
Good in a
Bikini
Despite
The gulf
Between us.
