Description
Two sisters
Gone through bad and good.
Lived through many wars many births and many deaths.
Once eight sisters and two brothers.
Now just two sisters
One 97 years of age, the other 100.
A lazy summer day draws near.
Eldest turns 101 years old.
Happy, singing, dancing, celebrating with friends and family.
Foolish thoughts of always lasting.
Winter comes,
Cold and harsh as it takes away her last breath.
Sad and weeping the last and youngest sister wants to join her siblings.
Does not want to be left alone on this cold dark earth.
Torn from her home and forced into another
With strangers in creeping white jackets.
House for sale.
Sign creaking back and forth in the wind.
I close my eyes and see the house
With her dancing inside in the sunlight warm and happy.
Then my vision clouds and turns dark
As I see the last sibling
Cold and miserable,
Alone amongst strangers.
