Notes About The Poem

Sisters / 2015 / I'm the little, big sister

 

Newborn Baby Sister

For My Darling Little Sister, My Punky
I gave Him all thanks when she was born,   					             
my sweet event, my newborn, babe sis.   							                        
All that she did, did my heart adorn.                        				
Loving her when seven was valued bliss.                      			
I brought Mom warm wash cloths each change time,       			
and told her when new bottles were prime.  				          
Joy was snuggling her in bed or a chair.
My Elizabeth Jane's skin was fair,                                 
with a cute button nose and eyes sky blue.                  
Five ten's have passed and my sis' love stays true.

Kim Rodrigues June 14, 2025 at 5:48 AM And a sweet message. My sis turned fifty in May! I wrote her a poem too. She is 14 years younger than me. She brought a lively spirit to the household! Happy Birthday to your wonderful sis, CayCay!

Paige Hind June 10, 2025 at 12:56 PM Very sweet- I love your poem <3 CayCay Godwin June 10, 2025 at 1:58 PM Thank you. I called her (she's in Texas, me - Florida) and read it, I could hear her smile over the phone. She asked me to email it so she could put it with all her other sis-love poems! Miss her ... CayCay

Daniel Henry Rodgers June 10, 2025 at 10:10 AM Dear CayCay, I love your story of your sister and those early moments of love and care are just so tender. The way you blend gratitude, memories, and devotion together makes me treasure my own family and friends even more. Such a beautiful, heartfelt piece of your life. Blessings, My Dear CayCay, Daniel CayCay Godwin June 10, 2025 at 2:03 PM Thank you, Daniel, I do love her so. HEY, since you read my Dad and Appendicitis poem that laid out my Dad issues, remember?. I thought you might like to compare it to the feel in my newest post, as a degreed Psychologist, I think it would interest you, providing u do recall Appendicitis write. This is a spontaneous thought, OK, if you don't, either way, I appreciate you ... CayCay

Andrea Dietrich June 9, 2025 at 11:17 PM Such a sweet idea. Truly hidden because the phrase is not the title. But meaning is quite the same. I still have mine waiting to post soon. Goodnight, dear

Gershon Wolf June 9, 2025 at 6:37 PM How SWEET it is, CayCay. Adorable to the nth degree // the way it always should be. ~ Gershon P.S. Check your sp-mail. CayCay Godwin June 10, 2025 at 2:10 PM I loved dolls and my parents gave me a live one who I've since written many poems for. I get to see her at Thanksgiving, and I give thanks for such. When someone writes 'check soup mail', I feel I'm being summoned to the principal's office, don't know why, but it's true. I'm on my way. Hope I haven't been suspended for my blog behavior. Love, CayCay

Victor Buhagiar June 9, 2025 at 3:19 AM I love babies and glad others take care of it. Now go and buy some diapers :) Poetry hugs. CayCay Godwin June 9, 2025 at 5:26 AM Dear Heart: did you catch the part about 50 years passing since she was born? If I buy diapers it will probably be in the future and not for a baby. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
