    Poem Commentary

    This is dedicated to my Sister Gracie

    She's My Baby

    Let me tell you about her
    But there aren't enough words
    To describe how I feel
    About this love so deep and real

    I'm the youngest of them all
    She is short and I am tall
    She has mama's kind heart
    Always good from the start

    She is my brother's twin
    But you can't see her in him
    He has mama's native skin
    And his love is deep with in

    She is slow and can not read
    But so much she knows and I take heed
    So smart in so many ways
    I'll listen to her advise any day

    She's the shortest of the girls
    She's had troubles in her world
    And she tells me please don't leave
    And I say I love you Gracie

    But for now I have to go
    My sister I love you so
    She is younger but older than me
    Gracie...she is my baby

    She wraps her arms around me tight
    Gracie you saw me the other night
    I promise to be back soon
    She says I hope before a blue moon

    Tomorrow is coming a new day born
    Church bell will ring for Sunday morn
    I'll be there she said to me
    I can't wait I want to hear you sing

    She stood and watched me from the door
    Smiling, I couldn't love her any more
    Than what I already do
    She waved and mouthed I love you

    I smiled as I drove away
    Tomorrow will bring another day
    And I will see her for a little while
    She'll be all decked out in Gracie's style

    She will grin from ear to ear
    For the music she loves to hear
    Then down stairs with me hand in hand
    With her coffee by me she'll stand

    A child grown up in so many ways
    She can't wait to see me come another day
    She is younger but older than me
    Gracie...she is my baby

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
