Sibling Love: A Poem by Preeti Bawa Talwar

From the moment you were born,
I vowed to protect you from every harm.
Holding your tiny hands, I’d guide you each day,
Shielding you from the evil that might come your way.You looked up to me with those innocent eyes,
Filling my heart with an immense sense of pride.
Your laughter lit our home with brilliant light,
And your naughty smile brought me endless delight.
When you scraped your knees or faced your fears,
I held you close, wiped away your tears.

Through both the joys and all the cheers,
I’ve been your anchor through the years.
Though now you’ve grown and found your way,
To me, young you’ll always stay

For sibling love is a timeless bond,
Woven in gold, forever strong
A bond that no one can sever,
Our hearts and souls, entwined forever
