My Three Sisters

How blessed I am to have three,
My beautiful siblings be!
They have traits of our mother
Yet unique to each other

All gifted beyond compare.
Of music and wit and care
Compassionate, loving too.
All have virtue, through and through.

While they are away, I pray
That soon I will come their way
And embrace them once again,
And fondly remember when-

In childhood or later years
In laughter or heart-felt tears
Our lives are forever one,
Of love, eternally spun.

Deb, now I feel guilty! I have two brothers that are great as well. Maybe I need to write them something. :-) Thanks so much for your note.
