Sunflowers and The Color Blue

About my beloved twin sister

Sunflowers and the color blue

always make me think of  my sister, Sue.

She took the sun from the flowers

and the blue from the sky

and wound them together,

making her house, a home.

I could feel the peace and coziness

of love within her walls

which brought such contentment,

such a contentment of love to family.

Now, that she is gone, sunflowers and the color blue,

also, make me cry.

But they still make you think of her and that is all that matters....

A beautiful and sad poem. It is good to remember the people we lost and loved. Thank you for sharing your poem about your sister.

Hi Barbara,

I really like your rearrangement of the pieces. It was a wonderful write before that is now even better.

Wonderful.

Hi Barbara,

I can feel this. So sorry. A wonderful remembrance. And with the wonderful comes the pain, and least until so years from now the pain fades and only the wonderful remains.

Greatly enjoyed your piece.

Kindest regards,

Rick
