Tamara

A Poem by Mauricio Montoya
"

Sister

"
Oh Tamara
I was a child you were a child
Awoke in a world full of dreams
Never to see or feel
A love we so deeply yearn
From a father full of hate
And mother who could not relate
And toss to a grandma
Who would do the same
I was lost you were lost
Who do we blame
If only ourselfs
For a love never found
Yet here we are
I am old you are old
In a wrold we may never understand
How could we be blinded
By a light they said
We should Believe
I did nothing
You did something
In a world so cold
I was away but you were near
In a wrold full of fear
I was weak but you have always been Strong
Now I see what you saw
In this kingdom by the sea
I've lived my life like Poe
But you are no Annabelle
Just a love I hold deep inside of me
I'm your brother and you are my sister
That is what has divided us
But never take that love
From me I hold for you.
So forgive me
For as child now a man
A high born Kingsman
Can take that away from me.
For I was once was a child
When you were a kid
With a thought
Of a love never doom
til the end of time.
Oh Tamara.

Author's Note

Mauricio Montoya
To my sister we were raised by a father who drank, and a mother who left us,
I never realized we had each other until later in life.
This is my tribute to her.
Thank you for reading 💗

I didn't grow up knowing my father or my siblings. I know only that my brothers and my sister exist. Father passed away when I was a tween. Mama lives, raised me, still acts like a mother hen! 😄 Would we have them be anything else?

Even in the Ozarks hills, family is Paramount. A beautiful tribute, mi friend.

It is wonderful when sister and brother can be friends. A forever bonding of two people. I had 11 brothers and sisters. My father was a rolling stone. Children know to be kind to each other when life is hard. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

A touching tribute to your sister. Later in life you realise just what she means to you. You both had a really hard upbringing. Sibling bonds can be really strong. I am one of five and understand that. A really nice poem. I felt much warmth here Mauricio.

Chris I love your work when I find time to read, there's a lot of love so your coment ii hold dearl.. read more
dear Mauricioricio... I was an "only Child" and
never had a brother and sister. However, I had a son and daughter; and each omg children each had two children. I am blessed with four grandchildren. Whenever you loose a Parent or two... you are an Orphan always. My husband had a Sister and she had a son and daughter.
We need to cultivate the blessings of our childhood and make the most of Life. gently, Pat
