"sisters 3"
I know I can count on you, my dear sisters,
despite our differences.
I know I can trust you like morning waits the noon.
I often felt cracked and crushed by your loving
rebuke but knowing what I know now,
I curse the days of my past for the pains injected
and thank the present for self-realization.
What can I do without you, sisters?
You are my blood, and blood they say is thicker
than water.
You are true and supportive sisters.
I wonder what the leaves will do without branches.
I wonder if the stem can stand hasty hugs of the wind
without the roots.
Everyone should aspire to have dear ones like you.
I hope I can learn and be enriched with A forgiving,
tender and loving heart like yours, to keep alive the
ties of our bond.
I know that I am not as bright as sunshine, but, one
thing I do know.
Life without you is an up hill task, a barefoot walk in
hot sand.
You are the pillars of my hope.
You are the angels that I see.
You are a worthy possession of life.
If I do fall again, please, don't forget to pick me up.
You are my priceless gifts from the great Universe.
Dear sisters, you are number one on my list of blessings.
I love you sisters with all my heart.
May God be with you
Sisters
