The Bracelet In My Arm Poem by Toshie Nohara

This bracelet
In my arm
A precious gift from
my sisters
Each day I
look at it
My heart warms with
pride
Memories of happy
days dance in my
mind
Feeling the presence of my
eight sisters!

Long ago we always spend
time together
Sharing chores
Oftentimes
helping each other
Always teaching
Always encouraging
one another how to
cope with daily life in a
big family
To live with peace and
harmony
And to face
reality

Time passed so quickly
My hair is grey
Wrinkles more, yet
In the sound of
silence
Life is still
meaningful

Thank you, beloved sisters
Thank you, precious
bracelet
The bond that holds
us together
Like a strong tower.
