My sister is a female sibling in the strictest sense
A sister goes deeper than just parents in common
Life gifts us with sisters at different stages in our lives
They are true assets, rare to find, blessings to keep
They have one, two or three things we cherish in life
If you find one in your life time, do not let her go
She’ll be your mother, father, friend and manager all in one
My sister is my Champion
My sister encourages me in ways that bless me
She may not know all my secrets, doesn’t matter, she’s got my back
She champions my causes, and doesn’t put me down
If she doesn’t understand it, she accepts me and is patient
She prays for my successes and laments my failures
My sister is my hero, with her I feel like a star
My sister is my Protector
My sister defends me and fights for me. She is kind
When I call her name, she’s there for me without question
She covers me from enemy fire if she can
When I’m hurt, she provides a haven of protection while I heal
She protects me and my household when she can
My sister is my soldier, with her I feel safe
My sister is my Friend
She listens to all my secrets, aspirations, dreams and fears
She doesn’t judge me, or question the things I keep for myself
She gives me good counsel, laughs at my jokes, shares my pain
She knows my children’s names, loves them like her own
She’s not afraid to love me and let the world know it
My sister is my treasure, with her I find peace
My sister is my Teacher
She knows me, sees my soul, hears my heart
She teaches me the ways of the world when I falter
She gives me a shoulder to cry on with immeasurable empathy
She tells me truth without sting, shares her wisdom without fail
My sister has no envy or jealousy for me
She tells the world she is proud of me
My sister is God’s Reflection,
My sister shows me love and loves those I love
My sister prays with me, and when I’m weak she intercedes for me
My sister rebukes my bad behavior and shows me the right way
My sister won’t let me starve, she’ll share her bread, her cloak a place to stay
We may not talk everyday, or every month, she’s still my soul sister
My sister’s keeper, she is me, with her, all is well

This is the most touching definition of a sister I’ve come across. Well written Mah. Thanks for this inspirational piece.
Thank you dear Yenih for that lovely compliment and also for honoring my blog with a visit. I thouroughly enjoy yenihsworld, fun and vibrant. I do think that as women we don’t always get the opportunity to show and express all that we can be for the world, the poem is just a few of the qualities I could put together to describe who we are and have the potential to be as sisters to both boys and girls. When we do reflect these qualities it is important to shine a light on it. Thank you again
