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.

This poem originally was published in Poems on Life - Family Poems

Sisters Three, Siblings Are We
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 just learned that my only sister at age 54 was diagnosed with cancer, it hit me like a ton of bricks, it has been three days and the tears will not stop flowing, only 12 years ago I lost a brother to cancer at a young age of 39, it makes one think why us? We are all positive and optimistic and hoping for the best. I googled poetry about sisters with cancer, and I found your poem, it touched my soul. keep up the wonderful work. -- Sandra

    This is a beautiful poem, I recently lost my older sister, looking back at all the photos taken of us 3 sisters brings back memories I will treasure forever. Thanks for putting into words my feelings for my sisters. C. Freriks

  • Cynthia
    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.
  • Betty

    This poem depicts exactly how I feel about my sisters. I can't imagine how my life would be without them.
  • marilen
    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!
  • noor
    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 .
  • Davinishia
    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!

  • Karry
    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

    As I have two sisters (me being the one in the middle) I found this quite touching. My older sister has been very ill for the past few years and as we three get older we all get closer.
  • Pauline

    I really loved your poem. I have two wonderful sisters who are my soul mates. Hard times and struggles have concreted us together as one . It made my heart feel good to find someone else who knows the value of sisters.
  • Sandie
    There are 6 of us girls. I wanted to do something to show them how much I love them. (I am the oldest) Out of all the sister poems I came across, this could have been written for us. I am making pillows with this poem and a picture that is special to that particular sister for each one. Thank you for such a beautiful poem
  • Nina
    Just over a year ago my two Sisters and I lost our Mother,we've been through a terrible time. This poem sums up exactly what we mean to each other. Alone we would never have coped. We have always been close,but now are closer still. It is because of our Mother we are strong individuals and such a great team. Thank you for putting into words just how much they mean to me,I love them so very much. Your poem is beautiful.

    I have a class project about peoms I'm working on and my theme is "Sisters". When I read your poem I said to myself that this is the perfect poem, because it has to do with my theme and it reminds me of my sister and I.
