This post, written by my two nieces, Brianna and Lexi, talks about the joy of being sisters. Brianna and Lexi are just about a year apart and they composed this poem on the spot! It
is heartfelt and leaves me with a big a smile of my face at their exuberance and commitment to each other. Thanks, Brianna and Lexi!!!
The greatest sisterhood partnership ever!
A sister is an automatic best friend
A relationship that has no foreseeable end
No fight is too big
No gesture too small
Sisters are there through and through
Above all
Lexi always loved to dance
She’s loud and loves her parents
Brianna with a camera in her hands
Sort of quiet, independent
Lexi asks a question, with a smile on her face
And Brianna’s always there to put Lexi in her place
Sometimes Lexi follows when Brianna does lead
it makes for shared experiences,
plants a common seed.
A summer in Europe,
college at Tulane
and through it all,
Best friends they remained.
(Though we mustn’t forget…
They also drove each other INSANE)
With one plus year together living in New York,
They’re happy their mom picked them up from the Stork
Singing loud at the top of their lungs,
Creating harmony
Thinking they’re ready for American idol
When others want to scream
Hey,
there Delilah
Soul sister
I’m yours
Belting these songs out
From deep in their cores
Alexander hamilton
is the hill they would die on
And they’re there for each other
as a shoulder to cry on
They’re super silly,
With lots of support
laughing for hours
until they begin to snort
Always thinking the same thing
On the exact same page
They feel each other’s happiness
and hold each other’s rage
Being protective for each other
(And they’re younger and older brother)
Question it, as one would
But know there’s no bond like a true sisterhood.
