Sibling Love
Spontaneous love
delight of togetherness
hugs bring them closer.
***
Growing up is fun
in the shadow of siblings
who cherish values.
***
With consistent love,
they inherit little joys
and stay positive.
***
Two stars of parents
one is obdurate and tough
the other – gentle.
***
Always together,
attitudes may collide but
their love is subtle.
***
Competitive yet
proud of their older sibling
expectations mount.
***
Setting high standards
failure to reach that zenith
creates wide fissures.
***
How they drift apart
as they move ahead in life
does love disappear?
***
Unknown grudges creep in
childhood joys are forgotten
ego mentors some.
