Sisters

Sister’s

Would I but have a mirror
That could go
Into the past
And reflect what’s coming
Would my choices be different?
Compromising  everyday thought’s
Willing them not to be my last
Not enduring life
But running through the fields
On golden dandelions
Clutching, grabing , holding
Remembering three young girls
On the shoulders
Of one strong Dad
Laughing, giggling, screaming
Capturing a moment
Lost forever in time
Or just bound
In the recess of my heart.

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost-Marion C. Garretty

Of two sisters one is always the watcher, one the dancer-Louise Gluck

Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.-Author unknown

An older sister is a friend and defender-a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.-Pam Brown

Sibling relationships-and 80 percent of Americans have at least one-outlast marriages, survive the death of parents,resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance , warmth, and loyalty. US News Jan 1994

Maybe its the weather, maybe its the singing of old hymns in church or the laughter between the grandchildren. Something stirred my heart a little more than usual and the old longing came back.

The wanting to see my sisters just one more time. The talks that I'm missing out on. The growing old together. The rah, rah I'm here for you sister. Life's gonna be okay. Let me walk beside you today, everythings gonna be okay. 

Amazing Grace 

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did

that grace appear 

The hour I first believed

My chains are gone

I've been set free

My God, my Saviour has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

Thankful for:

Songs that remind me of where I came from

The memories of sisters

Being able to face each day, one day at a time

Family and friends

The rain reminding me the sun will shine again
