My Family is Like a Bookbag

My grandma is the big pocket —

      holding the essentials everyone needs to stay alive

 

My brother is the small pocket you use a minimal amount,

      where you keep small treasures like toys or your phone

 

My dog is the side pocket that you don’t use a lot,

      something you don’t really pay attention to, but you love

 

My sis is the handle that you don’t use —

      I don’t really know her like that

 

My dad is that one pencil you can’t find

      because he is never there

 

And I am the straps that hold up the bookbag —

      I’ve been through a lot, but I’m still holding on
