An All-Embracing Love

For My Sister on Christmas

A blanket

That keeps us warm

Through dark times

And frigid storms

 

Some hot soup

A steaming bowl

Nourishing

It heats the soul

 

Gentle words

A loving glance

Now’s the time

We’ll have that chance

 

Perfect Love

Christ’s first coming.

Sister’s love

So becoming!

 

I thank God

For your good heart

You’re precious

A God-made art

 

Through tough times

We fought and yelled

But Sister’s love

Our bond upheld

 

With God’s Grace

It’s not a chore

Sisters now

And evermore!
