Notes About The Poem

Sister, Sister, Beloved Sister


Sister, sister, life would be awful without my sister,
She is my rock, the voice of reason, my safe harbour;
Not an older sibling but younger, always my anchor,
Oh, she was born with an incredible inner strength.
She possesses all the beautiful qualities of my mother,
When I am ill, it is my sister who holds my hand;
By my side she will always and forever stand,
For me she goes the distance, no matter the length.
She is my soul's deepest love and greatest strength,
I will always listen and depend on her advice;
It is full of wisdom and is usually quite concise,
Mother must be smiling down from her heavenly land.
Through all life's twists and turns we are one,
Oh, those days of childhood play until the sun was done.

Having a younger sister made this read personal. I adore it, the emotion is straight on, as is the love and appreciation. I'm putting this in my favs - I am all the better for having read this - that happens at times and it is awesome when it does ... CayCay - 7

Lovely....I'm so glad that you are blessed with a younger sister who is such a pillar in your life. I have two older brothers... Hugs, my dear.

CayCay, that is like my younger sister, she always seems to be the older, people think that and that gets her so angry, but I think it is that inner strength that she projects ~~

I have to tell you, BW - I am 7 years older than my sister yet since she was a teenager, people have thought her the older. That changed only within the past years. Mine has my Father's willpower and strength. We blend familiar, but are each differently blessed. Great dialogue - couldn't resist sharing.

Eileen, thanks for the nice comment, my older sister passed away when we were kids, even before this sister was born, I always seemed more fragile than my younger sister, she was truly born with incredible inner strength, just like my mother possessed. We look very similar even being mistaken for twins, just yesterday even, oh she hates that, afterall she is younger!!!
