Pictures of You

I love looking at pictures of you. I stroke your hair, touch your check – I even pat your nose and just grin. Such sentimental heart peak No better grin could seek. I love looking at pictures of you. My eyes glow looking into yours - My fingers trace your sweet face. Such tender sweetness flows. No love has stronger glow. On your pictures, I love to dwell For since you were but a morsel I have been your softest sell. I love looking at pictures of you, My baby sister love pastel. ... CayCay October 30, 2016

SO Sweet and SO touching , my dear friend. I remember the picture very well and thinking it was you the baby sister for you are so small! I too am the oldest and the shortest in all my family of sisters! The third to last line was the cutest: how you are a soft sell since she was a morsel (very imaginative). FAVE for me.

My daughters share this kind of closeness CayCay, and it is wonderful. They are 12 years apart and she, my oldest, has been like a second mother to her younger sister when I was away on long trips. I love the way you have expressed your profound love for your sister this is a beautiful poem! ; ) 7
