Women In My Family

Women in my family Of all, I owe most to my mom and my younger sister Who have brazenly stolen a chunk of my heart! Mom, you were always our pillar of support And a vast repository of values and inspirational love We have always seen you as a Powerhouse of strength Kissing away our tears and infusing hope in us. The intimacy I share with my younger sister Surpasses all other ties and is too deep for words Ever and anon, through smiles and giggles, Through every twist and turn of life, We were (are) together as a pair of twins, Prodding each other to move ahead This garland of words with much love I hang on the portrait of my mom ______________________________ June. 23.2022 ~Placed First~ Women in My Family Poetry Contest Sponsor- Sotto Poet

Unlike Kim, I see Mother’s wedding photo and it retains her goodness and her spirituality as if she were still in the room. Her values, laughter live on in myself, my daughter and grandson. She lived to be 84. I am glad she is not here to see the world as it is! I have no siblings, but daughter and I are both like her.people have mistaken us as sisters.-)) A fine verse! Thank you.. Hugs, Panagiota xx

Very pretty and touching! I can’t find the realness of my mom in a photo. I miss her soft hands, her listening ears, her friendship. Oh how I miss her. I didn’t know how much I would. Sisterhood indeed helps us. Love those smiles and giggles.
