#23 Sisters Three, Siblings Are We

I wrote this poem for my loving sisters. Life has not always been easy for us, but through it all we had our love to bring us comfort.

Dedicated to my sisters, Hester and Lakie. I love you both dearly.

Sisters Three, Siblings Are We

by Pauline Hamblin

There is a love down in my soul.
Where faith and trust I do hold.
Love that will stand forever more.
That's what sisters were made for.

Together we've been through a lot.
Caring not what others thought.
We stood tall and held our ground.
Foundation from our mother kept us sound.

Now we've grown up and left the nest.
The love we share is still the best.
My sisters I do love you true
My thoughts often travel back to you

I read this poem and i burst into tears because i have two sisters and i understand where you are coming from. Your poem touched me.
Laura

I really enjoyed this poem and plan to send it to my sisters. We were once six sisters who took each other for granted- mostly seperated by things in the past. Then our oldest sister died last September at 34. Now we are five sisters (and 3 brothers) who make it a point to keep in touch, have frequent sister chats and most important of all, we have learned we are sisters and we love and help each other no matter what.

Thank you so much Pauline! We are four sisters in the family and we also have two brothers. Our mom passed away the other summer and our father followed her just last summer too. It was our eldest sister who saw this poem of yours and sent us thru e mail. I cried when I read the poem coz it touches my heart so much. Its really very meaningful and the message really tells how we really feel with one another. We seldom see each other coz we are living in different countries, we only get in touch thru e-mails but even then your poem made us more closer with one another. Please continue the wonderful job. I really love poems and I know you could even help me with my job as a teacher. Once again thank you, thank you very much, more power and god bless!

you have written a great poem , i realy love it . this poem shows that we should love our sisters , although i hate my sis but after reading your wounderful poem i realised that hating people is like durning down your own house to get rid of a rat . hatred does not cease by hatred , but only by love ; this is the eternal rule .

I really enjoy this poem because it reminds me of me and my sisters. Yes its three of us also, but we still manage to still love each other. Me being 15 and the youngest, i find it difficult but I also find it as a blessing!

For Christmas this year I wanted to say something meaning ful to my sisters. This poem expresses exactly how I feel in such a beatiful way. Thank you to the author for her lovely insight into the true gift of sisterhood.
david

The poem was beautiful but the most moving part was the response from Tammy regarding her sister sick with cancer. I know God uses certain people (the Author) to give peace and healing to people. Your gift of poetry was that message. Keep up the work, whatever your beliefs are. We never know who is listening.
Stephanie

this was the best poem ever
jackie
