The Little Sister
Some time back
I wrote about
A very engaged 16 year old
A gentleman way ahead of his time
Fast-forward eight years
And he's now a 24-year-old rock star
Literally
In Las Vegas making it happen
But this isn't about that
This is about his little sister
A gem cut from the same stone
Same engagement - same smarts
I had the good fortune
To share a cup of tea with her
On a cold NYC afternoon the other day
Chatting it up about an interview
She had just met with a friend of mine
Someone looking for the skill set
She possessed
And it went well
But that was expected
Because she's got game
Knows where she's headed
With a pretty good idea
Of what the path looks like to get there
Impressive
Analytical
Grounded and
Cute
You can get pretty far with that combo
As I listened to her
I found a certain amount of happy
In the knowing that if not this opportunity
She definitely has the goods to go far
When we wrapped it up
She said thanks for setting up the meeting
I thanked her right back
For being so cool
And making me proud
For the chance to play a part
Albeit just a cameo
In her journey on that thing called life
