SISTER

Folder: 
To Roshana

I wait for you each night,

no matter how tired I am, how weary I might feel, I always seem to have the strength to see you near me,

to hear what you have to say,

to listen to your laughters,

and the ways you joke and kid,

to see the wonderful human you are,

to celebrate the love we share.



I remember everything,

from the first evening when we met,

to this night when we said goodbye,

I remember the sorrows and the pains too,

and all the angers and the despairs,

All the love and acceptance that has won over them,

I know that is how it will always be,

that is what love is you see.



I thought love was something that only others were meant to to feel you know,

and something I was only to hear of and wonder,

you changed all that,

I have never known love so strong and deep for amyone I have known,

and for showning me what it means, please accept a simple thank you.



If this is what life is, I want to live it through,

to talk to you each night, with nothing more than words, as you know we do,

I know you will be back tomorrow, and who knows we might talk even more,

I will be there, as I have always been, at the same time, as before.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I write this poem for my sister Roshana, whom I met a few months back. Needless to say, I could not competely express the way i feel for her in those words, no matter how many they were.

My sister Roshana thinks, unlike I do, that love , once felt, is complete, there being nothing that is short of it, or more than it. I disagree with her, I believe love is subject to the qualities people have, and is never static, but has it's high and lows. I have however excluded this issue in the few lines I wrote, since I feel a poem is hardly the platform one must create to have any argurments.
