PICTURES OF YOU

Dedicated to My Darling Little Sister, My Punky 

I love looking at pictures of you.
I stroke your hair, touch your check –
I even pat your nose and slow grin.
Such sentimental heart peak
No better grin could seek.
I love looking at pictures of you. 
My eyes glow looking into yours -
My fingers trace your sweet face.
Such tender sweetness flows.
It is a blessed love to know.
Looking, I feel its precious glow.

On your pictures, I love to dwell
For since you were but a morsel 
I have been your softest sell.
I love looking at pictures of you,
My baby sister love pastel.

SO Sweet and SO touching , my dear friend. I remember the picture very well and thinking it was you the baby sister for you are so small! I too am the oldest and the shortest in all my family of sisters! The third to last line was the cutest: how you are a soft sell since she was a morsel (very imaginative). FAVE for me.

My daughters share this kind of closeness CayCay, and it is wonderful. They are 12 years apart and she, my oldest, has been like a second mother to her younger sister when I was away on long trips. I love the way you have expressed your profound love for your sister this is a beautiful poem! ; ) 7
