Sisters

My sisters know me
For the flawed person
I am but they love me even
Though they know me, a good
Example I try to emulate as often
As possible but seldom match
As my sisters are formidable
With analytical minds good
Judgement & experience.
I trust their opinion with
No reservations but
I do remember a
Few stories of
Our shared
Childhood
And only
Hesitate to
Elaborate from
Fear of retribution
Too terrible to mention.
In my travels with my eldest
Sister over four years of cruising
I am indebted for her advice
Such as her comment on
On a lady friend I was
Spending time with,
“She sure is high
Maintenance.”
I began to
Write a
Few
Poems
To justify
My myself
On FB which
Is what I am still
Writing for your and
My sisters’ amusement
Because high maintenance
To one is to another
Too enticing to
Pass up no
Matter
What
My
Sisters say.
