My Father’s Daughters

Cassie58

here are my sisters 

laughing and smiling 

surrounded by meadows 

embraced by the sun 

purple the loosestrife 

tall above green grass 

abundant white cowslip

as years have moved on 

 

thankful am i

the eldest of siblings 

the river flows downstream 

now what of our dreams 

some have proved fruitful 

some best forgotten

some may still happen 

we’re not out of steam 

 

regardless the weather 

we stick close together 

in times when we’re happy 

or days filled with sad 

the lessons we’ve learned 

we can not be broken

we’re here for  each other 

through good times and bad

      Hello Cassie - feels like a very attractive walk.
      But how many sisters? A bus load? Wouldn’t want the upright residents of Marlow to worry that they were being invaded….lol

      • Cassie58

        Not a bus load, just the three of us having a day out in Marlow. Hardly an invasion:) Thank you Dave for stopping by.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Could have been a busload of Nuns, come to save the citizens of Marlow from their sins...lol

          • Cassie58

            Oh I forgot to mention, all three of us are patriots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😀.Have a great day Dave.

            It is true that we age with time, but we must remain optimistic, as we still have much to achieve. I feel a beautiful bond between sisters, untouched, not worn nor torn by time. I can assure you that this is a great gift from God.
            Beautiful words and beautiful feelings.

            • Cassie58

              Saleh, I count my blessings. I am very fortunate to have a special bond with my sisters. Thank you for such a warm review.

                  I am fortunate Andy to have a close relationship with both my sisters. Something for me to celebrate. Thank you for stopping by.

                  Awe, not every family is this way, how beautiful dearest Cassie. 🌹

                  • Cassie58

                    Dear Teddy, I am blessed with having two lovely sisters. I know how lucky I am when other families don’t have such close relationships. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful Sunday. 🌹

                    a wonderful story
                    beautifully written Cassie.

                    one to fave for sure.

                    • Cassie58

                      Thank you so much Melvin for your very generous review. Have a great Sunday.

                      I loved the hidden metaphor of "abundant white cowslip" denoting age as if white hair. The passing of time does not dull the bond.

                      • Cassie58

                        Thank you so much Soren. I love what you said about the hidden metaphor. I wasn’t that clever lol. Made me smile.

                        I was raised to believe Family came first, always. That has worked well for me seven decades now. Nice work.

                        • Cassie58

                          Thank you so much Dan. Yes, I was raised the same way. I appreciate your visit. Have a great day.
