Description
Brothers And Sisters
There are five of us
Brothers and sisters
I am the oldest
And the bossiest
We're part of the same family
Of the same gene pool
Of the same
DNA
But oh boy are we different
One brother is a redneck
The other is a fisherman
But I love them both
My sisters
Well my sisters and I
Love each other
But boy do we piss each other off
There's something about sisters
You can't be any closer
You can't be any different
You can't love each other more
But with three sisters
Someone is always left out
And that sister
Gets her feelings hurt
We don't mean to
We don't want to
But it happens
And we all cry
Brothers and sisters
We've grown up
More or less
And we just love each other
No matter what

Family love.... Aloha
you can choose your friends but not your relatives! my brothers are my friends thankfully!
The redneck is in the middle right??? LOL!!!!! NIce shot of you folks!!!!
Beautiful photo and words, Marilyn. You're certainly blessed with siblings to share good times with.
Siblings eh! I am the yougest of seven, two brothers four sisters, one of my brothers is dead, thats to be expected though, I am sixty in a couple of months, my eldest sister is in her late eighties. Myself and three of my sisters have diabetes but not the eldest one. Beautiful prose once again Marilyn, thought provoking as well. It makes you think of 'Family' and family ties. Excellent! Bravo!!!!!
i am the eldest of 5 aswell and its hard as they all want advice and help from their big brother not realising that first i dont know all the answers its common sense most of the time and second i dont think they realise sometimes my own family needs help and its hard sharing myself .that said i really would`nt want it any other way we are close and friends and of course brothers and sisters :o)..excellent thought provoking work marilyn mick
Nothing more important than family...am the oldest of four..two brothers and a sister..we are all too far apart geographically...nice words...
Evocative words! I'm glad you couldn't make the image work as a thumb - it adds to the experience to be able to see everybody while we're reading. You rock!
Awww what a very nice writing of yours! and yeah I know how that is being the odd one left out! hehe great photo also! and wish you a wonderful weekend dear :-) Hugsssssss
Poignant retrospection, so eloquently delivered. Battling siblings at their best. In the eternal words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along?
This is another great post...I love the sentiment here, and the note of truth that rings through this. I have no brothers or sister, at least none that share the same genetic goop that we're all made of, but I know at least some semblance of fraternity, just through some of my friends, especially one particular Russian dude who shall remain nameless! Great words, great image...a fantastic post all around.
right on.cool
I love your poetry.
