Best Sibling Poems

Once, I’d stood beside a man
Who, with heart and soul o’erwrought, 
Silently searched for answers, but answers found him not. 
His sister recently had passed from Earthly life to next,
And left her brother standing, filled with emptiness.

We stood within a classroom, throbbing with life and...

We were not children of privilege,
But truly didn't know it.
If our mama had a favorite,
She surely didn't show it.

Lewis was the eldest of seven
And took his position seriously.
Lloyd was playful and Charlie a joker
Who could make us laugh hysterically.

Glenn the fourth son, a peaceful lad,
Was...

don't let me see you on my street 
or creepin through my window 
I immensely want your head hanging 
on my living room wall 

I plan to hunt you down very  soon 
So don't go making my chase easy 
I wish you were not...

There once was a sister most prosaic
Who's love for her kin was most archaic
  She turned a blind eye
  To horrible lie after lie
And ignored her sibling's mind of mosaic...

Girl
Baby
Born last month
To brother’s wife
An ocean of joy to grandma,my mom

Were you so glad Ma, when my son was born
I dared to ask
Teasing her
Just for 
Fun

Shush!
Stop it
Silly girl
Gulp down envy
She chided me like I was ten years old

We must not take everything for granted
Freedom of speech, your voice
Poverty and war
ravages in large parts of the world

What is important to focus on
A dialogue with respect,
whether one agrees or not

One must listen and learn
as sibling of the same mother

Where a seed can sprout to...

she is my sister.
he is my brother.
  she tough me how draw.
he tough me how to play the computer.
she tough me how to sing.
he tough me how to direct the story.  
she tough me how punish your enemy.
he tough me to be my...

The child was getting tired of being teased
Words flowed from her brother's mouth unfiltered
Had he more vocabulary he'd spew. 
She didn't care on that morning if she pleased
She went to the icebox unbewildered
            milk...

A rope-line of commitments
keeps me busy and hobbled;
unable to move elsewhere
a difficult situation.

It’s like going on the whole rigmarole
prepared to sacrifice, willing to serve;
open to be wounded and -
attend to whatever needs to be done.

Oh, certain kinds of experience
make me realize it’s enduring
to get involved...

SIBLING RIVALRY BETWEEN THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM

For thousands of years animosity has existed between the Arabs and the Jews, we know this, but what is the reason? 
Let’s go back in time and try to understand the history of the discord, and why it continues...

To me, my sister is a friend
She's always there when I need a hand

But when we were younger, we always fought
Hitting and screaming at each other every since we could talk

If she hit me, I hit her back
Then I would say, "Ha Ha I got...

In a moment of passion
He seek to do righteous
Torn by temptation’s lust
Sibling bond keeps him near
The path of destruction

Looking at the forbidden fruit
He plays with fire
Ignoring the flames that burn
Sibling bond like crazy glue 
Is hard to part

Will he win the war within? 
The battle...

They're getting older,
five brothers and sisters,
all with degrees, jobs, families, 
nice homes, good lives, happier 
than most except when they must 
fly to the home of their childhood 
and settle their mother's estate.

They gather in the old stucco 
none of them is willing to sell....

Somebody I could count on 
Interested in architecture  
Best at making mashed potatoes    
Loved by his family 
Immersed in reading mysteries 
No matter what was said we made up   
Greatly missed...
