'Sisters'



The Sunday Whirl challenge:



'Sisters'
 

The modern culture urges us to believe
That rivalry is the basic instinct
Of siblings,

But a classic story,
Whispering of the old charm,
Rings true:

They never scalded their tongues 
With harsh, hateful words,
Love
Was the only language
They spoke.

When life came crushing hard,
Scattering the shards of their fragile hopes,
They tried every knack to help each other,

Sisters, never rivals,
They painted the ashen existence
With rich colors of
Sincere
Devotion.

Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

    1. Agree, but it might be true more often, than not, though :-)

    1. It really doesn't happen just in books and movies, it's a very good thing.

  6. Nice write. Another book to add to my ever growing list of recommendations. Now I just have to find where y'all posted the book title and author!

    While not all sister relationships are ideal... some are better than others. There is a history that can be shared only by sisters - even if their versions are not the same. I think too quite a bit depends on birth order and the years separating ages.

    1. Thank you, Jules. The title of the book (and the movie) is 'Sense and Sensibility', it's a British romance novel by Jane Austen. It was first published in 1811.
