40 Seconds

Forty seconds to say I love you
Forty seconds to say I care for you

I hate to see you cry
I hate to see you hide your face from me with shame

You are always happy, I appreciate your sweetness
You are like an older sister, always watching out for me

You are always like "njeri, come by and lift some weights. Its good for you"
You draw hearts for me to smile too

One time I accidentally broke your glass of water and I felt so bad about it
But you were like, "njeri,it's ok. In my culture, when things break its usually a sign of good luck"

I will never know your pains
But I'll always love to bring you a cheerful pie
