My sister, my beautiful young sister, look how grown up you are.
Thirteen years, you and I, together sharing a bond. You've been afraid, so have I, yet I have never let it be shown. I am your statue up high on the mountain that you glaze and gawk toward to help you through your day. Not a tear I cry is sadness because to you I will forever be strong. Alcoholic mother, big deal, I've been right here. You're shelter, your wisdom, your escape from fear. My little sister be brave when you decide to conquer this world. I have faith in you, I believe in you, because you my dear carry my traits. You have my genes, my independance, my love and strength. Our brother, our hero, my statue, has stood strong for me and I will do the same for you.
Illegal is not the answer; for you are only high on that mountain for so long until you begin to tumble down. Trust me, I know, for I chose to illegally follow a disruptive path. You knew this, you disowned me. I finally cried my first tear in your presence. You were scared and clueless. Yet, I escaped and I hope you never find that situation along the way but if you do run, run far away little sister.
I have faith and hope that one day you will find yourself among the moutain. The mountain where heros and believers reside. I want you by my side for my children to glare at, for my children to get through their days. I need you to be like me for once. You see, for I have finally chosen to live in a world of right. I have finally chosen to be your hero for eternity. I love you, and everything that you are.
My oh my, little sister, look how you have grown.
Just never stop believing in me.

Thanks!
Thanks for the gold, it means a LOT! My sister was so proud of me and cried when I read her this.
Thanks again -- happy holidays! -
You actually don't need to revise anything. I really enjoyed reading it! Seriously I love it! It is very emotionally strong and you must really look to your sister for help or strength. Amazing job! I really do love it! thank you and good luck!

Thankyou very much! My brother who is 18 months older then I am, my sister who is four years younger then me, and then myself have lived struggle by struggle. Yet, with eachother we always find the better and help eachother through our tribulations. Our mother who raised us three since she was seventeen on her own, is an alocholic, she's getting better, yet it will never replace the past and what we all went through. My sister, bless her heart, has saw too much and has had to experience more then she should. I was strong enough, I could handle it, and I do hope that she always has faith in me because thats what gives me my strength and my hope! Thanks again, for opening this contest. When it comes to writing, my brother and sister are my inspiration!
