Three Well-Dressed Women, 1920s

Six relatives
shell upon shell of relationships
Each layer has its function
Even hens keeps the family in order

My sister Lina and I 
are completely different
only a leaf thin wall 
separates the laughter from the tears
She is hypersensitive
but incredibly friendly and caring

Frank my brother is my best friend,
he's dear to talk to
We likes to spend
many hours together every day
A special friendship that lasts a lifetime

Aunt Astrid and Uncle Sigmund
is always to be trusted in thick and thin
although I have barely seen them in five years

Sofie and Silje are twins
and my cousins
Have you ever met
someone who never stops talking
They talk all times, 
whether they gets an answer or not
Humorous remarks, they are incredible
Gives everything of itself, own experiences,
personal anecdotes, memories and observations
Lots of bubbles and laughter

Some times I wonder on the coincidences in life
We depend on each other, and we need each other
Although we are completely different

You give life and character to these six "relatives", Anne-Lise. The good thing is that we are different from each other...variety makes life fun. ~ Hugs // paul

- Astrid and Sigmund are common Norwegian names, S.O. :) -But this is not from reality ... I have an aunt named Solfrid and an uncle named Karsten ... a sister named Gunn-Bente ... and my brother's name is Roald ... No talkative twin cousins :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
