"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
