Sonnet for My Sisters

by juliaschemmer

Jay, pretty like blossoming orchid fields But not as liable to fade away Rough winds scatter but she refuses to yield Becoming stronger every fleeting day Ave, vibrant as a golden sunrise With voice of song flooding her lovely heart Refusing to appease for compromise Displaying her own personal form of art Keely, perfect gift from heaven above Her second nature giving others grace With testimony revealing God’s great love Glorious beams from her radiant face Such like the tireless cycle of a dove So is my passion for sisters I love
