There used to be 7 sisters
They love to dance and sing
There were close, even as kids
They would play and swing


Their names were many
But let's start with the first
Phaedra, the sister of strength
She was never easy to coerce


Then there was the second
Luna, sister of dance
Every night by the fire
The others saw her prance


This girl was just as great
Estella, sister of song
When she sung
Everyone sang along


Now with the 4th
Ilta, sister of art
People would see her work
And feel it deep in their heart


The 5th is the next
Ayla, sister of story
Full of joy and pain
Always end in glory


6 was always around
Diana, sister of care
If someone was sick
She'd be there


But the last one is hard
For both you and me
Eira, girl of nothing
Yeah, the others are surprised too



She tried to move
But would fall
She tried to sing
But it always hit a wall


Eira tried to be like the others
But she felt small and shy
So while the others were asleep
She hid in the sky



The 6 sisters woke up
And looked and tried
But after years of searching
They began to cry



But little do they know
Eira was great
She was watching the others
Changing the star's fate


Eira isn't mad
But sad and hurt
Maybe one day
She'll leave her yurt


And dance with her sisters
Like she was born to do
Because they love each other
All the way, through and through
um. I like stars.
Lili and I disliked each other growing up.
But with age, we learned the act of being patient, of feeling heard, seen and learning how to love and trust one another.
And quite frankly I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It taught me the value of working for a relationship with someone you hold so dearly.
It taught me the importance of,
“If one wanted to, one would.”

The thought…no, even the idea of losing my sister kills me.
Because when the time comes where our parents will pass, it’ll just be Lili & Karla.

She’s the only I’ll have.
The only living proof of my childhood,
the only living proof I had a loving family.

I cannot bear the loneliness that may arrive one day.
I must have her with me, to accompany me through this lifetime.
It’s us until the end of our lives.

For when the sun awakens, and when the sun sets.
For when the moon rises and falls again and again.

My heart longs for us to be together until the end of time.
But I know such things are not promised.
A soul can only wish.

So with each passing day.  
my heart quietly breaks, preparing itself for that treacherous moment.

She is my cherry flats.
The ones I treasured so dearly as a child.
She knew how much I loved those shoes.
And just like those flats, I truly do love you Lila.
From me to you.

I do not know how to feel about bunkbeds
It is super cool if we can both agree immediately
Who gets top
And who gets bottom.
Just
How could you not want the bottom?
Forts, Midnight Movie madness party of one
The bottom bunk is by far the superior
Bunk
Plus, my little sister fell off the top bunk
And broke her arm.

A gem of a sister, you are
Technically though, my aunt you are
But that matters not
Kind to a fault
Sweet as gulab jamun
At times, a strict person
Possessing nerves of steel
Thoroughly trustworthy and dependable
A model wife and mother
On the whole, an extremely lovable character!

A gem of a sister, you are
Anybody and everybody, you care for
Immensely valuable, your counsel
Above all, very cool
Irrespective of the situation
Always thinking "I can!"
A bedrock for the entire family
And finally, rarely unhappy!!

A gem of a sister, you are
So lively, your children are
Of course, mischievous at times
Nevertheless, they bring happiness
Even in times of despair
Hence, bright will be your future!!

A gem of a sister, you are
Dear to me, forever
Well, hope we catch up soon
Do keep that adorable smile on!!
Dedicated to my very sweet cousin sister Barghavi.

A talk with my sister, and something feels right,
She listens so calmly, she softens my night.
She saw all the bruises that covered my skin,
And says she won’t watch me go through that again.

She tells me I’m worthy of peace
and of rest,
That being myself doesn't make me a jest.
No more pretending, stop shrinking to fit-
It's not worth losing love to please others, is it?

And those who don’t like it? Well, let them all go,
She’ll stand right beside me through my highs and lows.
She says I am loved without mask or disguise,
And I realize I could've just been me this whole time.
I don't have to carry, I can ask for assistance without fear of being mocked or met with resistance.
I thought myself alone
She was here the whole time

To me, you're like an angel, sent by God above,
To cleanse my soul of sadness and fill it with love.
You are my inspiration, and I want to thank you,
For without you, I don't know what I would do.
You've changed my life around
And turned my frown upside down.
You have shown me the way
So that I will never stray.
For this I want to thank you again,
For staying close by and being a friend.
And to end this off, I just wanted to say
That if you need a friend,
I'll be there till the very end.
its only been a year since we became friends but i hope we are best friends forever. i hope we all stick together.
