Two Sisters


Two Sisters

© by Bud Lemire on Dec 11, 2004




At The elevator, two sisters say goodnight

Through a peep hole, I see them in the hall light

In the quiet of my room, there are no sounds

Except the good nights, of two sisters in their nightgowns



I told them, that many times I hear them at night

They'll say goodnight to me, if the time is right

Ruth is "Spunky," and Alice has Bells Palsy

And they are two very special friends to me



Alice exercises in the morning, going around the floor

I saw Ruthie reading the poem, I have hanging on my door

When it comes to fun, these sisters really know

They enjoy playing, and get lucky at the casino



They've been special friends to me, since I moved in here

And as each day passes, they each become more dear

Ruthie is the decorator, on her floor

Alice is the humanitarian, helping people door to door




I wrote this poem, for two sisters that I know

Alice and Ruthie, who each have a wonderful soul

Alice has passed away, and Ruthie has moved out.
