: Your Sisters Recall by Debi Pick Marquette


Christmas Eve as children, was memorable each year

A time that love shone brighter, like an annual souvenir

But seven kids with families, it's hard to fit them all

Each Christmas you offered your home, so we could still recall

.

Diane, her kids, their old pontoon, could not go to the lake

You pulled them ‘round your yard, a better memory you'd make

You bought it and you fixed it up, once Roger heard God's call

A gift to Diane's family, that she'll always recall

 

 Barb was thinking of a time, you helped her learn to drive

You didn't think about yourself, or if you would survive :  )

You stayed and went to work with her, until almost that Fall

A special Summer for you both, that Barb loves to recall

 

Joyce remembers catching frogs and putting them in pails

Went to town to bait shops, where you would make some sales

You said she did good for a girl, didn't freak or start to bawl

An awesome memory she has, forever she’ll recall

 

Debi loves that after you, the next spot she would claim

When older sisters left,  "one of the boys" she soon became

You’ve always been her hero, and you have since she was small

Some of the things she thinks of, when it's her time to recall

 

We love you, Greg, with all our hearts; to us you're ten feet tall!

Relationships so close that never needs to reinstall

You are great, there's no debate, we're four who know it all

We have been Blessed ~ Given the Best! Your Sisters All Recall!

Author Notes
Thanks for reading my poem for my brothers 70th. The recalling stories won't mean much to anyone but us, but I still thought I would share it w my other family, you!
I talk about becoming one of the boys after our three older sisters left home, because there were two more boys. Unfortunately we lost our oldest and our youngest brothers when they were both in their forties.
