Poetry again this week.
These Girls of Mine
I never dreamed
that you would all appear
so fresh and new
and wrinkly too
with folds of fat
and fuzzy heads
one after the other
I took care of you
I still take care of you
but my have you grown
what was once one
became two
three
four
And here you are all
in your loud
exuberance
and voices
singing in choruses
You are so full of life
and fights at times
to numerous to count and
yet
I know
That you love each other
with the deep rooted passion
That only siblings can have
That sisters can have
You against the world
Strong Girls
Silly Girls
I can’t imagine life
without them
my darling
my dears
these girls of mine.
