For my sister

I saw two little girls
With matching braids in their hair
They were talking and laughing
Without so much as a care

I watched as one pushed
The other in a swing,
And she listened intently as
Her friend began to sing

She smiled with joy
With a tear in her eye,
And she made a wish
On that bright blue sky

To always be happy and
To always be there,
To always have each other
For they were a pair

But as they grew older
Time made them part,
But never did it break
That loving bond in their heart

For they were not just
Ordinary friends,
No, they were sisters
And that bond never ends.

That's very lovely and so true. And the connection continues!

Eirian,

Your poem touched me deeply. I have three sisters. Our relationships with each other are complicated and often painful. I think of them fondly and remember how they took care of me when I was little - but, we have grown apart and it is not as easy now.

Thank you for this poem.

Alison
