To My Sister

I have spent my life in jealousy
Wanting a sister of my own
I begged my parents relentlessly
But they just laughed while I moaned
So this goes out to my sister
The nonexistent one in my dreams
What a pair we could have made
At least that is what it seems
I have heard tales of sisters
Fighting constantly through the years
But I have always wanted my own
To help me conquer my fears
And maybe we would fight
But I would never stay too mad
For you would be my sister
One I would be glad to have

Hi april, I dont have a sister either, I can relate to the words in this lovely poem, but I can say that in mothers, girlfriend friendships, aunts, grandmothers I can find some deep sisterhood in communicating & sharing life experiences, although its not biologically the same, there is a womanly bond that links us in a special way....thats a beautiful gift. Love this poem & thankyou for commenting on my poem, really appreciate your kind comment:) <3 cherie..
