SISTER

So many people
Step across
The pathways
Of our lives.
They quickly disappear
Amidst the swirling
Mists of time.
They become vague,
Unimportant,
And remain nameless
In our mind.

On the other hand
A few, and one can’t
Help but wonder,
Are they chosen?
Walk the path
With you,
Step by step,
Stride by stride.
Like twin hearts,
Beating in time
With each other.
Always there
With a hand
To help you.
When the path
Gets too rocky.
Constantly ready
To unselfishly help
Push you
Upwards and onwards,
Over the hilly,
Oft-times frightening,
Seemingly mountainous,  
Un-scaleable terrain.
They willingly control
Your downward slides,

Always dependable,
Always faithful,
And always, but always
A treasured gift.
A person
Who is so much more
Than a friend.
Someone who rejoices
With you,
Shares your triumphs.
Someone
Who is constant,
There for you.
A shoulder to lean on,
During the sadness of one’s life.
Someone, who cries with you
And for you

I share my pathway
With one such person,
She is called Sister.
Words cannot express
How fortunate I feel,
Or how grateful I am
That for all my life,
Even though at times
I didn’t recognize it,
My sister has walked
By my side,
Physically and emotionally.

SURELY THIS IS
A GOD-GIVEN GIFT.


I be me BUT who does me be?

Oh, how correct you are SPIRIT. For, I too have been blessed with such a loving sister. You might have read her posts...it is Enchantress. We are always there for each other - what a blessing! Enjoyed. Chris

Ah, I too have been so blessed..You write such wonderful poetry. I love your style and the way each poem comes straight from your heart! Bravo! dear poetic sister! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Very beautiful, Spirit! I've been blessed with two of them, and also with an equally wonderful brother!

I'm also one of the lucky ones. My two sisters mean the world to me. I'm so glad that all of you get to experience that great feeling of never-ending love.

I loved your poem

I too have been blessed!
Thank you for this excellent piece of work.
