Sister

Where ever you go, Whatever you do
A keepsake to carry, she's always with you
Nostalgia follows, a sliver of childhood
Never to be lost, that is sisterhood
Both your mirror and your opposite
Everlasting, a bond so definite
A family tree, grown from the same roots
Individual blossoms taking their own routes
Shared experiences, in tune, a wave length
A home to return to, a giver of strength
A safety net allowing you to reach new heights
Cheering you on, hoping you take flight
Designed to catch you when you fall
Stand you back up, nice and tall
A pusher who believes the sky is the limit
A shining light, you can never dim it
A sister is a necessity, a blessing, it's true
L’amour entre deux, love between two
Souls adjoined, like rope intertwine
Forever together, glad you're mine

No finer poem of sisters has ever existed but this! Phenomenal emotions, examples, images, connections were created by your words. Well done Madam!

Jesse, I can see how much your sister means to you and I feel the same about mine. Just posted a poem about her. I hope you show this poem to your sister. It will surely lift her spirits. Very touching and a favorite for me. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn! I have two sisters who are everything I wrote about. They are what I have left. I look forward to reading more of your work. <3

Your line about the "safety net" -- nothing could be truer.
