Sisters

a poem by Sumita Jagannathan

Why did God make sisters?

Did he make them
just so they can smile at us
or did he make them
so they will be there for us.

Why did God make them
better and stronger
than what we are
just so they can protect us
or did he believe
that they make the best friends.

Why did God make them kind,
generous and loving,
so they can be what
a mother would be to us
or did he know as he made sisters
that they would never leave.

Why did God make sisters?

May be because he wanted
to be with us always
and he is, everyday, through them.

God made sisters
who care a whole lot for us,
who would move the earth
just to be with us.

He made them for you and me
for all eternity.
