Poetry

Silently, secretly
another year steals away
we ponder tomorrows
recall yesterdays.

Imagine my wonder then,
today when I found
you’re not a kid anymore
youth escaped without sound.

So subtle the changes,
first thought I was blind
but the shells not so altered,
it’s really the mind.

Thanks for fond memories
that last all the while
sibling rivalry departed
replaced with a smile.

Each child is unique
and I’m thankful God knew
to make sisters for brothers…
especially you.

Reach out to touch
now and then as your friend
when life throws you a curve
brothers and sisters begin…

families don’t end!
