Notes About The Poem

Sisters of the Heart

Strengthening a fragile grasp,
Interlocking hands unit.
Feelings emotional shades,
Burning aglow.
A shinning beacon,
Lighting our way forward.
Loves fulfillment enriching,
The futures fertile soil.
In humanities garden,
Pluck no for-get-me-knots.
Beneath sorrows weeping willow,
Wipe away moisture's tears.
Fates harsh breath bends down,
A tender reed.
It whispers you are not alone.
Hush now angel, guardians
Sentinels, watch over thee.
Elemental forces rage,
Weathering challenges storm,
We shall face together,
Against diversities hurdles.
Connected beings standing,
Strong every soul joined,
As one.
A shimmering chain of life,
Glimmering in generations light.
Cradled in our loving warmth,
Angelic wings wrap around thee.
Keepsakes precious treasure,
Safe from harm’s way.
Hopes beautiful dream,
A delicate flower, blossoms,
Deep within the human essence.
A single pink rose, sheds its petals,
By degrees gentle softness.
One depth at a time.
It's lingering fragrance,
A reminder to us of friendships,
Forever’s never to fade away.
Mothers, linked to daughters,
 Tying knots of everlasting strains,
Combining faith's belief,
We are truly,
Sisters of the heart.
Echoing across destinies breezes,
Lifted upon remembrances winds,
Spanning mankind's vast horizon.
Shall we not always look towards,
The rising sun.

Cheryl, This is a moving piece. I can feel your passion through every verse. Let us all stand strong together as sisters, joing our hands together with an unbreakable grip. If we did that there's not mountain we couldn't climb. I truly enjoyed this outstanding pen.Excellent job! You get a 7 from me :) Alexis
