Sister Poem

A girl writes about the special bond between her and her sisters. They are not always together in place but they are always together in spirit. Sometimes they fight, but nothing will ever break their special bond.

Three Sister's

© Francis I. Gillespie
We are three sisters
Three sisters are we
I love each of you,
And I know you love me

We’re not always together,
Life sometimes keeps us apart.
But we're never separated
We’re in each other's heart.

Now I know we've had our troubles,
But we always get thru.
The real message is you love me,
And I also love you.

We have had lots of good times
That we'll never forget
Sometimes we worry
And sometimes we fret

But if God ever gave me
Something special you see,
It might have been the blessing of,
Three sisters are we.

The Lord above has gave me lots
Of happiness and glee
But the most special thing he did was
Make us sisters, all three.

  • I am the oldest of three sisters, whom I love very dearly. My youngest sister is going through a very difficult time. Her daughter, was killed September 3, 2008 in a deadly auto accident. She was her only child, 27 yrs old, the same age as my daughter. They grew up together, living on the same street. Our family is so distraught and my heart weeps for our loss and especially for my dear sister. Your poem says it all. Thank you

  • I am also the oldest of three sisters, a Bond so deep you actually feel their pain physically. I lost my sister and nephew also on 10-14-2008 in a tragic car accident, my nephew was 3 and my baby sister 29. I pray God brings you comfort and please do the same for my family. This poem is something only real sisters understand. God Bless.

  • I am the middle of the three sisters. all of us are happily married but we still miss the childhood that we spent together. We share a bond that is indefinable and this poem truly speaks my heartfelt emotions for my sisters.
    I really wish my elder sister and her just delivered twins (who are under intensive care in the hospital) a speedy recovery, and let her know how I miss being with her at this time of her life.
    God Bless
    Keep smiling

  • Well, it's not your own story Francis but the story of every girl who is loyal to her family. I'm the oldest of three sisters and your poem expresses exactly how I feel toward them. They are my whole life . I love and respect them even in times of hardship. We sometimes fight, but quickly forgive each other. Believe me I never slept before I kiss them all goodnight.
    Thanks Francis for your poem. God bless all sisters who are like you.

  • I lost my Mother on Nov.30,2008 and my sisters and I are all so lost. We all live in different states and its so hard dealing with our loss apart. We still manage. But today my middle sister called to chat and BAM! she starts crying because she thought I stopped loving her. Well you know that's wrong but she is missing my Mom so much and things have been going on in both our lives that we haven't been able to do the "sister talking". So this poem has hit the nail on the head. My oldest sister's husband keeps telling her we are going to forget her since Mom is gone. Now that's a horrible thing to say to anyone so again this poem is perfect!!
    Thank you

  • I am the third of four sisters. and this poem says it all. Like all sisters we had our ups and downs but we always knew that we loved each other. I lost my youngest sister in 2002 she was only 45 yrs. old I was completely devastated. Now in 2009 I have lost my remaining sisters one passed away on Jan.16th. and the oldest passed away on Mar. 18th.we had her service yesterday.
    It hurts soo bad. Sisters are so special you can tell them things that you can not tell anybody else. So those of you who still have sisters cherish them every day of your lives and never take them for granted because you will not know how much you miss them until they are gone. There is a special place in my heart set aside just for them.

  • I'm the third to be born I have 3 brother's and 2 sister's, I just lost my baby sister 21 yrs old and expecting her first child In may by a drunk driver 1-01-10. It's been so hard for me and my family the pain is so deep I never knew my heart can take this much pain she is missed so much . We never imagined that the day after my brother gets married we would be making plans to bury my sister who was so full of life and couldn't wait to be a mom. When I start to cry my three year old say mommy don't cry tia Elaina's in the sky she lives with Jesus don't cry and now all we can do is pray that god gets us through this pain. I wanted to see my sister in a hospital bed holding her son after giving birth instead we laid her to rest with her son on her tummy , life cut short because of a man who got into his SUV, three times the legal limit and drove right into the back of her parked car as they sat and waited for Triple A . I love you sis R.I.P Elaina and baby Romeo

  • I am #5 of what was 6 sisters. We lost our baby sister to cancer 10 years ago when she was pregnant with her baby. And we lost our second sister 3 years ago. My sisters and I are the best of friends and always have been. I am going through really hard time now and I couldn't do it without my sisters. We also have 2 brothers and are very close to them, but there is a special bond between sisters.

  • I loved this poem and it really touched me because I am one of six children, three of which are girls. I am the middle sister and hold a very tight relationship with both Mary Ann and Julia and I look foreword to building my relationship further. Anyway, I am on the hunt for a lot of different quotes (and poems!) about three sisters, but it has been really hard so I think I may just give them this poem. Have a blessed day, y'all!!!

  • A wonderful description of sisters and the bond they share. I am the oldest of 3 sisters and 21 months ago the middle sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. As sisters we shared her journey through all the tests, surgeries, chemo & radiation. On Oct.. 26, 2010 she became a grandmother for the 1st time to a beautiful & healthy baby boy. What a joyous event. I thank god that she lived to experience this.

  • This poem, I like very much. Not that I know of how to write and how to judge the poem, but simply because I have the same and strong bond of love for my sister too. Now we've grown up but whenever I close my eyes I just see her as a small child. This poem enhanced my love to my sister. Thank for wonderful poem!

  • I lost my Mom when I was 4. My sisters and I have been very close. We were raised by a very mean step mother and she had a son who molested me and my younger sister. We grew up with 2 older sisters of which one died 3 years ago. I would call her our protector. I miss her every day more and more. Life has not been easy for us but we are still together.

  • I'm the eldest of three sisters. I love them both more than life its self and I feel very responsible for them. My middle sister is only three years younger and was always my best friend when we were growing up. She has been addicted to drugs since her mid-teens, we recently fell out because of this and I'm finding it incredibly difficult without her, not knowing where she is or whether she is ok, I miss her so much but I also worry about how she will effect my youngest sister. there's a large age difference, she is barely a teenager and easily influenced, especially by us older sisters. I've tried setting a good example for both of my sisters and so far the youngest seems to be on the straight and narrow, fingers crossed. Wherever my sisters are, whatever they are doing, I love them so much that it hurts and I know that they both love me, nothing will ever change that and this poem gives me hope that one day all three of us will be together again, drug-free, healthy and happy.

  • We are 3 sisters of which I am the youngest. I was looking for a poem for my sister's 60th birthday and this poem made me cry because it seems as if written specially for us. We have been in an orphanage as children and my oldest sister always had to protect us. She was and still is our mother. She never had the carefree life a child should have. She turns 60 shortly and I was looking for something special to say to her. Thank you for this poem from all three of us!

My older sister is an inspiration to me cause she has two jobs and is about to go to college. She helps me with boy problems and is always there when I need her :'') She lives in Washington state.

  • I have a little sister who is awesome. I also have another sister who only lived a few minutes. I would cry myself to sleep because I felt cheated out of the chance to be a big sister and hold her in my arms. People may think it hurts more to lose someone you know well, but I'm telling you that it hurts just the same, because now you'll never know what could have been. Whenever I see a little girl the same age she would have been I tear up because I can't help but think of what I almost had.
    But to those of you who are going through the same thing, let me just tell you that you will see her again. I promise. And even though it hurts, think about all the trouble you have here in life. If you aren't religious, I'm sorry, but heaven is much better. Just think that she got to skip here. I promise that it will be even better than ok.

    PS Check out lds.org or mormon.com. They helped me.

  • I am the third of four sisters. Through the years I have been very close to my sisters ''off and on''. We all live within one hour of each other. We all have our own families and our own family issues. We all have great memories of our growing up together. But in the last 20 years we have grown apart. I wish we had held on to our roots. My mom passed away last October. And now my oldest sister has cancer and the doctors say she only has weeks to live. I don't know what to say anymore. I don't really know her anymore. All I do know is that I love my sister and I want more time with her. We have wasted so much valuable time. Sisters are forever.
    Thank you for this sister poem.

  • It's Valentine's Day and I am thinking of my sister! I am the oldest of three and I lost my youngest sis and nephew last December in a terrible car accident. She would have been 27 this Valentines day and there is not one day that goes by that she doesn't cross my mind. At the time of our loss, I was expecting my 1st and only daughter (who I named after my sister!) she was due a day before Valentines Day...she came a few days early but every time I look into the face of my little angel I think of our angels we lost. I will forever cherish the memories of three sisters learning and growing up together! Family is forever!
    This poem is awesome. Happy Valentine's day to all!!!

  • I am the middle sister we are all three. Six years apart and as different as day and night we fight, we make up, take sides and gang up on each other but it's always over as soon as it starts. I keep these two in my heart. And think of them everyday even thought we may not see each other as much as we like with motherhood and life keeping us busy. Our father is dying and our heart is broken to cope and deal we might fuss but in the end it will be the three of us.
