Siblings

"For there is no friend like a sister in calm or storm weather; to cheer one on the tedious way...to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen while one stands."

Christina Rossetti British Poet 1839-1894

SIBLINGS

Little children seeing red

Pull the hair of sister's head

Paper dolls scattered on the floor

Arguments and spats galore

Growing siblings busy living

Sporatic contact with them uplifting

Animosity becomes what's past

Futures built to finally last

Sibling rivalry now obscure

Loving relationships now secure

Lifelines formed with ties that bind

Reliving great memories we left behind

The chain now linked in common strength

There for one another in decisions we make

A loving shoulder on which to cry

Celebrated events to memorialize

We'll mourn together those now deceased

Together we cry then find our peace

Knowing forever that our one true bond

Are of siblings then into life beyond
