They trusted you first
Five-year-old hands too small
They handed me to you
You reached out, accepting the call
A pact made before we had language
A journey started before we could adventure
A love before understanding
A best friend before and for life
Before I could speak
You were my voice
Before I knew
You could tell
Before I could fall
You held my hand
Before I could swim
You taught me to float
Time flew
We grew
You into your role
Me into mine
Sisters in body and soul
A bond that defies rhyme
Trust me it is mutual!
Such a touching poem.
Your depictions help us visualize growing up and the importance of having someone there to (literally) hold you up throughout all of life.
Being the older sister, this one resonated with me! I like the repetition and the flow. Just curious which prompt this came from?
My sister and I wrote our poems together. My sister made glyphs around words that have resonated with her and we randomly chose a glyph for each poem we wrote. This poem was based on the word/glyph ‘Trust’.
Cool! Did you enter this year, too?
We did!
