Sisters

Hey everyone! I realize that it has been awhile since I posted anything and the next installment of Alien Prison isn't quite done yet, so I will post this poem that I wrote. To be fair, I have never been the best at poems, so I'm not sure how this will sound. Hope you like.

Sisters

What is a sister?

Is she someone that listens and cares

Maybe someone who will hold your hand while you’re scared

Or someone who will braid your hair

She wipes away your tears

Which you shed through all of the years

Because of growing fears

Through the thick and the thin she stands with you

But inside the fear is in view

That someday she will say, ‘I do’

 You must hold on for dear life

On the day that she becomes a wife

The pain in your heart a knife

After the wedding is done

You will look around and see none

Gone is your loved one

The tears now fall

Your heart shattered like a porcelain doll

Which in anger, was thrown against a wall

She moves far away

Your shattered heart filled with dismay

At the thought of her keeping you at bay

Years pass

Like wind blowing through the open grass

Nothing will stop its moving mass

Children have been born

Jealousy stabs you like a thorn

And once again your heart is torn

Soon you come love these things

These children that seem to fly with wings

Straight into your heart and make you richer than a thousand kings

One day again you begin to cry

You are about to spread your wings and fly

But you find that it is far too hard to say goodbye

Once again she sees your tears

She holds you in her arms to quell your fears

But you look in her eyes and see her tears

That is when you know it is true

Even when the wind blew so strong that your world was askew

Her love was always there for you

A sister is an amazing being

Able to care for you without fleeing

And able to care for you as if it is a natural thing

What is a sister if not everything?

She molds to the form she is needed in

She is like a twin

That holds you together like a safety pin

Flesh and blood form the official bond

But sisterhood goes above and beyond

A sister is more precious than a diamond

The age between could be great or small

No matter what the love will reach all

Covering a scared heart with a comforting shawl

Faced with trials

A sister just smiles

Takes your hand and keeps walking the miles

United by blood and by love

There is nothing below or above

That sisters are afraid of

There is no simple answer to what a sister is

Because no matter what anyone says

A sister is what a sister is

She is everything and more
