My Younger Sibling and Baby Love

Dedicated to My Sister, Liz, With All My Love
There was a time pre-Pooh. Then, as now, life with Pooh. I do not know what my known universe would do Without all the colors constantly shown by you. Today, Pooh, you do turn fifty, but what I see Is the feel of you all curled up, snuggled so small And laying in my bed, asleep right beside me. In day, you would constantly rumble and stumble; At night, lay as a pure, perfect, tender bundle. You were completely the joy of promise and love; Totally the baby I had always dreamed of. Now, how I love the person who you have become! If being age fifty should ever overwhelm, Remember, to me, you are also number one. Like silk, your time spun extra rays of warmth and light That softly right and adorn my personal world, Where you always remain as my beloved girl. ... CayCay December 19, 2015

I'm so delighted to read these wonderful dedications/poems to your lovely sisters, my dear friend, Caycay. You're lucky to have them and vise versa. When I was a child, I wished I'll have a sister to play with my dolls, but unfortunately I wasn't gifted even 1, so I played with my cousins who were also "only girl" in the family. I enjoyed your poem! Thank you so much for sharing! Thank you so much as well for generously sharing your precious time to read my poems! I'll be back! love lots,Leonora

I enjoyed this lovely and sweet double poem, CayCay. Reminds me of my younger sister...very similar situation. Up till now (after more than fifty years) we still regard her as our baby sister! She'll be celebrating her birthday on 25th Dec! ~ Regards // paul

Try pouring water on your sister. I shouldn't tease, siblings are friends who cannot really desert us, even when apart, siblings are each other's history and memories, at the least. You may remember the writing about my brother who lives as a down and out addict leaving me doubly blessed to have my bigger, little sister. I truly enjoyed your comments and thank you for the 7 (I tend to forget that little digit, too) ... CayCay

I loved this heart warming piece. I love it when siblings are close. My youngest had her older sister and brother fighting over who was getting to care for her next. They are still all close. Doesn't hurt that all three are Scorpios born in the first week of November!

I have written my sister many poems over the years, but this 'true' write was inspired by the contest and I can't help but be glad of it because I'm flooded with memories each time I read it. I would have begun praying for you long ago if I'd known you had 3 Scorpion children. Thank you for the uplifting comments. Again, thank you, Connie ... CayCay
