A poem for Kim-

Written for Kim-



“SISTER O SISTER”

Sister o Sister

I know each thought you think

Sister o Sister

I taste the salt that you drink

Together we share the blood of our mother

Two sisters, one love

For her, no other

Do you feel we have drifted?

Two ships lost out at sea

No anchor now holds us

We both sail aimlessly

Sister o Sister

Let’s not float further apart

Know that I need you

I speak from my heart

We cannot discard all we were taught

Such wisdom and much love

Are gifts given, not bought

I too feel frightened

What rules come with ‘grief?’

Simply follow your heart

That is my true belief

Sister o Sister

Mum was brave to the end

Her murmurs kept silent

So broken hearts would mend

Sister o Sister

Let us never lose touch

Sister o Sister



We owe her that much!

For my sister, Kim…

sister o sister
you need never fear

wherever you are
i will be near

your eyes may not see me
so look with your heart

so, sister o sister
never again will we part

TODAY
We are a long way from being the sisters I thought we were, neither of us speaking to one another and that wall you built has grown even bigger.
I read this piece today with such a heavy heart....so much has changed in our lives that now I fear the connection we once shared has been broken forever.
I'll now have to learn to live without you....won't be easy.

Your sister in ♥
