The Sisters Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Sisters
I am twelve years older
Than my youngest sister
When she was a little girl
She followed me everywhere
Like a dog that loves its master.
She is very much like me
Wrapped in a different body
She adored
Everything I got
From the sole of my feet
To the top of my head.
She suffered in silence
My tenderhearted lash and pinch
And all the treacheries I committed
She idolized and loved me
Every single day
Till doomsday.
Sometimes I hide
Just to be by myself
Away from her
But she is like a mushroom
That sprouts
Anywhere overnight.
At the onset of her youth
She did a 180 degree turn
She hated all things
That I got
Including my brain and guts.
And now I always wish
I could turn back
The hands of time
And be with my sister
All the time.

ONE: A loveliest poem about your sisters, especially about your youngest sister. It's oft like that when teenage time comes, a radical change takes place. IF I may say the grow hormones are starting to work hardest. A most valuable poem for the family archives to read time and again, Mrs. Juan-Austin.
