My Sister's Watch Poem by Larry Schreckengost
My Sister's Watch
Leaning against a maple red
Breathing crisp fall air
I strain to see through window's glare
And ever-present tear
As my sister cares for Father dear
Sharing gentler times, past and near
She sets aside anxiety
Calms her hidden fears
Then shows appreciation, for his paternal years
With muted dignity, he accepts his fate
And all that love him now await
But if his loss were daughter dear
On this, my thoughts are clear
He would rip the devil from his fiery lake
And wild and crazy promises make
Then hold his daughter oh so near
Whispering softly to her ear
The tender words she longed to hear
Beautiful dedication to the sister. Touching and full of warmth. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive write, Larry Schreckengost. You may like to read my poem, Love And Iust. Thank you.
Dedicated to my sister Debbie, the heart and soul of our family. All my love

line 7: " lay" or " lays" or " laid" ? [ i think lays ] i'm not sure. dumb verb tenses! ! ! ! It's (for me) certainly a surprise (& stirring) ending. [NOT like stirring cake mix! ] I guess " Watch" does not refer to a timepiece on sis's wrist (as i thought it would) . To MyPoemList bri and..nice leaf :) :) p.s. " Jazib" seems to always want THAT poem read. (see J's comment) .
