I beheld the glossy yellow flowers And the heart-shaped leaflets On a rare buttercup plant And I said "wow, how very beautiful" But this could not compare To the prettier-than-a-rose beauty I beheld in my sister’s Heart-pleasing smile, each school day As she escorted me to kindergarten
I heard the ear-soothing melody Coming from the flapping wings Of a humming bird And I said "wow, how lovely the sound" But this could not compare To the heavenly sound I heard nightly Coming from my sister’s Vibrating vocal cords As softly she said "Dream big, my little freckled-face brother"
I tasted the flavor Of hard, sticky candy called butterscotch Made from melted butter and brown sugar And I said "wow, how sweet this is" But it could not compare To the sweet taste of the sisterly love That has been sticking to my heart Every since my sister held me In her caring arms As her little baby brother
Wow Ron. This is a wonderful tribute to your big sister. The love that flows from your heart in every word just makes me smile that there is such love in the world. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tribute.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
Just found your poem. It reminded me of my brother, Andrew, and me and the love we shared. I'm his oldest sister and during his last month on earth, I was by his side pretty much day & night.
The bond of brother & sister still lives on in my heart. I will always treasure your poem,
Kathy

Sibling appreciation is so lacking in the world. People could learn from this.
Your finest piece of writing, to date, Ronnie!
And that beautiful photo of the two of you!!!
It is kissable, hugable, and memorable...Therefore it goes
into my library.

This is such a moving tribute to a loving older sister. She really is something special. I looked at the photo and saw the sweetness and beauty in her face. I've got to say that you're also the cutest baby I've seen in a long time ;-)
As for the freckles, I was known as 'freckles' as a kid.

This certainly is going to make your sister's soul smile. It's very tenderly and touching. That picture is so adorable. You certainly were a handsome little lad.
