Never Forget We'Re Sisters

I will carry you forever in my heart
From the day we met till the day we part
Thoughts of you leaving me now make me ache
I know the day the plane pulls away my heart will brake-

But I know I can’t hold you hostage 
Even though we’re sisters, 
I now must do my best to encourage; 
For I cannot expect you to live your life discouraged 

So go reach your dreams 
You spent your life making others happy to extreme 
Feel the sun on your back where it gleams
Aqua blue seawaters run like streams 

Take with you the other half of me, 
When you arrive there at the beautiful sea

Great writing, a wonderful connection to have with your sister. I am only just now beginning to have such a connection with mine.

I have always been close with my sister. However for some reason lately we haven't been. Your poem makes me want to go call her. Great job! Laura

Distance does not affect the ties that bind. I have not been able to see my brother for three years and though we miss each so very much, the love is strong and enduring. A lovely poem filled with wisdom and pathos. Well done. Love Heidie
