The Guardian
She guards her brother
with ancient eyes,
selfless in her quest
she'd break all the rules
to keep him safe.
'Tis a woman's heart
that beats so young
within her breast,
a warrior queen,
steadfast and oh, so true.

Such beautiful children and beautiful pictures. I did not realize that you had six! Congrats. A lovely poem too - I was also very protective of my brother when young - though we also fought terribly. (Ha.) But it is a special love. k.
Oh this is so sweet and beautiful _both the poem and the pictures. I'm an only child and always wonde what it's like to have a sibling.
It's sweet enough to make me wish my kids got along that well.

Lovely combination of life as you have experienced it and the precious photos as illustration.

I feel like I am just repeating the other comments here but truly this is such a loving and lovely tribute--and the photos just make the whole presentation sing. Wow.
The protectiveness of mother for children and siblings for each other is such a strong urge ... whata beautiful celebration of your daughter's love for her brother! Pictures make it perfect!
Yes. No more words are needed. There is such sweetness and beauty here.
Perfect just as it is! What a wonderful big sis!
Margaret, I have so missed viewing your wonderful work, but I just haven't had the time to do a lot of "blog hopping". I love this post--beautiful photos to accompany lovely words. Your new profile pic is "gorgeous", and I love the description of your husband "calm captain"! I'll be back much more often. Mickie :)
