Sisters

With my sister, Shea, at her birthday celebration on the Jersey shore, July 2018.

They make it impossible
To live without
Nagging endlessly
Sisters! They shout

They don’t know
And never will
We walk apart
Together still

More each day
Similarities abound
even my voice
It’s our sound

Differences remain
Inside and out
A love disguised
My Sisters! I shout

Just this week
I barely recall
You were there
I swear I saw

I imagined it
As I do
But hearing laughter
Brings me you

The best part
Without a doubt
Is side by side
Sisters! We shout
