Sister's Day Poem by Richard Alin Martin

Sister’s Day

There’s always been a Father’s
And a Mother’s Day it’s true,
A special week for Brotherhood,
And lots of others too;
But down the list I see they’ve missed,
Someone who’s pretty great,
And so I’d like to take this chance,
To set the record straight…
You may have heard the rumor,
That the sun sets in the west,
It’s only that you’re smiling,
And it comes out second best;
And when the leaves turn silver,
They don’t really fade and die,
It’s just because you’re near,
And they can’t catch a single eye;
And in the dead of winter,
When the only hope is Spring,
It seems to show up early,
With the presence that you bring;
And so, (in view of all the facts) ,
What else is there to say,
But that the World should
(just for you)
Proclaim this ‘Sister’s Day’!
