More than Sisters

More than Sisters


Inseparable
as children
We shared
everything.
Not just
parents.

We didnt
look alike.
We didn't have

the same ideas.

We whispered
secrets,
giggled, told stories,
and talked in the dark.

Separated by
school,
We made our
own friends
and chose
our own paths.

Things
change.
We grew up
together,
Separately.

Distance
separates us.
Our lives
are full.
We stay
connected.

Sometimes we
can
slow down
time.
And find space for each other.

We
choose to
be together
in spite of distance.

We whisper
secrets,
giggle,
share stories,
and talk in
the dark.

It ends too
soon.
There is
never
enough time.

We treasure
each other.
We are
connected.

We are more

than sisters.

We are friends.
