Siblings--A Relationship Forever (Poem)
Side by side, or miles apart,
We are sisters, connected by the heart.
—Author unknown
Siblings Love is, Forever
Born to the same mother,
They grow up together,
Laugh and Cry together,
Go to the same school,
Share dresses, Share food,
Save each other, from scolds,
Partners in innocent, little crimes,
They share their dreams and desires,
At home, at play, and at the school.
They fight, they tease, they shout,
But, they are always for each other,
With each other, like no one else does.
Life is not always the same
Grown from the same strong root,
Nurtured, protected and cared,
Life moves on, and the truth is not pleasant,
Life takes them to opposite directions,
Siblings do not always remain together,
They have to follow different paths,
Just like the branches of a tree,
They spread out in different directions,
To grow, develop and rise,
But in their connected hearts,
The attachment and affection remains,
Love grows each day, to remain forever.
Chitrangada Sharan
As we grew up, my brothers acted,
as if they didn’t care.
But I always knew,
they looked out for me, and were there.

AUTHORThank you dear Thelma, for reading, appreciating and sharing the poem on Facebook. Much appreciated!
So glad to know that you can relate to this. We become so busy with our lives after our marriage, that every time we meet our siblings, those moments become, cherished moments of celebrations.
Wish you happy siblings day! Thank you so much!
Beautiful poem. I can relate to this. That is true. We played, laughed, cried and quarrel each other but in the end, when one is in trouble, we are helping each other.

So sorry to learn that you lost your siblings. Siblings have a special place in our lives, that cannot be replaced. It’s a precious connection and we are fortunate, if we have siblings. Some people may not be so fortunate.

Beautiful poem. I have also voted.
I miss 3 of my siblings whom I lost in the recent years. We used to talk over the phone twice a week, at least, and I miss their loving and caring voices.
Beautiful and inspiring! And, the accompanying flower photos are ravishing. Lovely, as always!
Hugs,
Tamara

Thanks Dianna! So nice to hear from you after long.
You are right—we miss our siblings. We get so busy with our lives that it becomes difficult to spend more time together. But the attachment is always there.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I wish I lived closer to my siblings. I miss being able talk with them over a cup of coffee while sitting cozy on the back porch. Sad that sometimes we must go our different ways. But as you write, the affection remains.

Thanks Devika for sharing your memories and thoughts!
Life is like that. In childhood, we live together with our brothers and sisters, but as we grow in life, the paths become different. Sometimes distance is the barrier, at other times we are too busy in our own affairs. Whatever may be the case, it’s good to remain connected with our dear ones.
Thanks for appreciating the poem!
I have a much younger brother and sister and cared for them. It was great to have shared such moments. Though I live in Croatia and they are still South Africa we are close in our hearts. I like your poem!

Thank You Shyron for your kind words of appreciation!
I can relate to your comments. Brothers are like that, they love their sisters, would tease at times, but they are very protective too.
You are right that we get busy with our own families and therefore, meet less with our siblings. Sometimes the distance becomes a barrier.
What’s important is that the affection and attachment is always there. Sometimes just by sharing our problems, by talking on phone, provides the much needed emotional boost.
Many thanks for sharing your valuable thoughts .

Thank you femi for your kind visit and comments!
I completely agree with your views. If the foundation of relationships is strong, it will remain forever. As siblings grow, their paths may be different. They may get busy with their career, their own family. But they remain connected with their brothers and sisters and whenever possible, meet and spend quality time with each other.
Many thanks for adding your valuable opinion.

Lovely words, Chitrangada. Touched my heart so much.
I love the caption under your first photo, as well as the photo itself. Your poem is a great description of the relationship between siblings who care about each another.
Lovely poem
Chitrangada, beautiful poem. I miss most the fun I had with my two brothers, we were close and they were my protectors and my friends and we shared all that you have mentioned in your beautiful poem, now we are still close, but we have our own families and one brother lives a thousand miles away.
Blessings my friend.
The affection shared by siblings sometimes depend on their upbringing. Once serious bonds are formed in childhood despite different experiences the siblings would always love each other.
Both of my brothers are now deceased. I do miss the times we shared together. Lovely poetry!
I never had that connection. Thank you for sharing yours so beautifully!
This is lovely and heartwarming thank you.
