I never had any siblings but I sure if I had, I would always feel she was a part of me. Family is special. I hope my children will stay close and care about each other when I'm no longer around. Beautiful thoughts.

This is a lovely tribute to your sister. It's pure and innocent and quite beautiful. The picture goes so well with the poem. "until you are always with me, a flowering branch" I love this line. It's like she will always be in your heart. Well done. Respectfully, -January L.

I enjoyed reading your well-thought out poem. I like the image and your comparison of your friend to the flowering tree as it grows. Your words are specific and paint a true picture of one you was important to you. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

A loss is a sad thing and we never do forget our loved ones once they are gone. It is good to write about her and keep her alive in your memory. Very nice tribute!

Dear Marjon, this is a lovely poem. I am sure your sister is looking down from heaven, and smiling because of this wonderful memorial poem you have written about her and comparing her to a flowering branch with white and rose colored petals. The personification is a fitting tribute to someone you loved very much.

Wow, Marjon, this is a very poignant poem about the ever-presence of your sister. What beautiful personifications likening her to this lovely blooming tree. I feel your pain and it makes me miss my sister, too. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Marcia

Thank you for your review, faith. You gave me four stars. What should I be working on to make this poem better?

There's something about sisters that are always special even beyond this world they have an impact on us... An emotional free verse offering that touches on the 'eternity' of the sisterly bond... :) Thanx for sharing! ;)
