Sisters

With memories lodged in our hearts
                                                         and minds,
                                      We laugh and remember all the silly things
                                            that  happened and cherish the
                                                       childhood years.

                                     The bond formed long ago,  sharing
                                     parents, clothes, makeup and even shoes.
                                             Sisters we are are but friends
                                                         we've become.

                                      Now grown, with famlies of our own.
                                    The bond of everlasting love and friendship
                                        is a special treasure that only sisters
                                                  will keep into eternity.

Bethany St John October 18, 2012 at 5:10 PM This is a lovely poem Anne. Having a wonderful friendship with my sister, I really relate to this. No one can replace the love and loyalty of a sister :)

Robert Johnson June 20, 2011 at 2:07 PM There have been many poems written on sisters. Yours almost sounded like some that I have heard before. General sentiments tend to be that way. I just think it's wonderful how love can be so important in seperate familial relationships. I'm the youngest of 7, four sisters. They share quite a bond, and yet as the years go on familial relations get strained. May we all hold eachother dear for eternity.

Gwendolen Song April 26, 2011 at 7:02 AM Dear Anne, The first thing I did this morning after the kids were off to school was pick up the phone and check in with my big sister! I stumbled upon your poem by reading Nette's May poem. :) You capture the way I feel towards my older sister, Melanie. We have done many of the things you describe here and now my 2 younger daughter's are beginning a similar journey. Thanks for your creative write! Blessings. Gwendolen
