my sister is really cool
Even thought she can't talk that does not mean she has nothing to say
she always makes me feel happy
some people don't understand how she is different then the rest of us
i really care about her
it makes me sad when people say mean things about her
i am so thankful my friends care about her because of who she is

my sister inspired me because she cant talk at all. she cant talk cause she has a disability. most people at my school just don't understand that it hurts when you make fun of people who are like my sister

This is great!! :D One of my sister's has FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) She was adopted from Russia, and she's so sweet, but she has to go to a special school for her disabilities.  I wouldn't want people to make fun of her.

I loved this poem and I love how you care so much about your sister. It shows in your writing. This line: "Even though she can't talk that does not mean she has nothing to say" ...is brilliant! Maybe talk a bit more about that. Very good! :)

Aww, how sweet. Good job! In line 2 though, "thought" should be "though".
