My sister: helicopter <br />rescue carrier <br />floating in sea that others <br />may fly <br />My sister the mother bird <br />restrained <br />by nestlings <br />teaching them to <br />soar in the sky <br />My sister the lake <br />remaining in quarry <br />that thirsty babies <br />may come to drink <br />My sister the guru with eyes <br />so starry <br />carrying more weight that <br />others not sink. <br /> <br />My sister the last to leave the ship <br />making sure that all others are safe <br />My sister the Statue of Liberty <br />taking all weary all starving heart waifs <br />My sister the flower <br />who blooms where she's planted <br />that lonely bees may come to sup <br />My sister the gentle ear <br />which listens <br />and gives of her heart's <br />always full loving cup <br /> <br />(to N)<br /><br />Saiom Shriver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-sister-29/
