Ode to my Sister
Another sister tribute...
To my sister on her birthday - Here is a tribute to another sister and the memories of when she was growing up.
When I was young,
A long long time ago,
Along came this baby.
Was she a friend or was she a foe?
She had a pudgy noise, and her hair stuck up wild
When she was awake all she did was poop and cry
Yet those dirty diapers seem so very far away
As those childhood memories just fly by.
Two different worlds, several years apart
I was a teenager, you a young child
My temperament was aggressive
Yours became much more mild
I left home while you stayed where you were
A sister from a distance, miles apart
All those letters you wrote...
That was just the start!
Yet we continued to grow,
Our relationship would bloom
I eventually moved back home,
(Forcing you to have to share your room!)
The years have gone fast,
As I realized who exactly you are
Your a sister close at heart,
Even if the miles are far
Our ages are just numbers
When I'm old you will be too!
Our parents made us sisters,
But our friendship is up to me and you!
So even though we are family,
I'm glad you are who you are
We've shared so many experiences,
(and none of them at a bar!)
We've had game nights and movie nights
And have done nothing at all
You are my sister, my friend
And when we are together, we always have a ball.
So, since you were asking...
I wrote something new
It's my "Ode to My Sister"
And it's dedicated to my crazy sister - That's You!

@John Sarkis - I believe family is very important. When I got married, my mother encouraged me to make sure all my sister's stood up in the wedding. I really wanted my friends. Now I did have a mixture of both, but what I learned is my family is still around, some of the friends took different paths and I lost touch. We all need our family and I am glad to say I am a part of mine! :)

@RTalloni - When I first wrote this, it was actually a sarcastic attempt at sticking my tongue out at her... she was giving me a hard time about not writing in awhile. This was my response. However, we do have a really close relationship and in my family she is one of my biggest supporters of writing. She definitely is someone special! :) Glad you enjoyed this piece. I had fun writing it!

@Vinaya Ghimire - Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and glad I reminded you of someone you care about! :)
What a wonderful hub barbergirl128. I'm very close to my family. Additionally, my brother has a masters (almost PH.D) in English and has helped and supported me when I got the crazy notion a few years ago of wanting to become a writer...LOL Most people have similar stories about their siblings. I cannot understand people who don't care for their families.
Voted up on your wonderful hub
John
So sweet to mark your relationship with your sister in this way! The bond you have will continue to grow and triumph in the future, and will become even more of a treasure to you as time goes by.

@iamaudraleigh - Glad you enjoyed this... my sister is a very big part of my life so I couldn't resist this tribute! :)
All of us got sweet memories that we would like to pass again and again, but unfortunately it is not possible. But those words in your lovely poem has the power to carry us through those unforgetable memories and I enjoyed it. Thanks and voted up and interesting.
I love your poetic ode to your sister here, it reminds me of my relationship with my older brother, and its a close one as well. Nice job voted up!
Aaw this is so so sweet. I always wanted a sister - and guess what...I found out at age 17 that I DO have a sister! Now that I have met her and I have her in my life I don't even stop to think about the things we didn't share (like what you and your sister got) because Im just so happy to have her. Maybe I should follow suit and write a poem to her :)
I love your poem that was written in style! It is a great tribute to your sister! It is always my pleasure to follow you! Just terrific!

I am lucky to have such a great sister... no sister-in-laws yet though, but maybe soon.
Love your poem. Always wanted a sister. Did get a great sister-in-law though.

Thanks... It started off as a joke and ended up taking a serious note. My sister was harrassing me to write something cause she was bored. It gave me inspiration... what can I say! :)
love your poem ! I have 2 younger sisters myself & 3 daughters.
Memories like this can be likened to stars, the ones that are closest to us burn the brightest.

Glad I could bring back some memories for you. It was fun to write. I don't often write poetry too much anymore, but occasionally I have to dust off the poetry pen and get cracking.
I liked this...it reminds me of the relationship I had, and still have with my sister. Thank you!
It is a pleasure to hear the memory of the past.
