Tears of happiness came quick
a gift to herself
but she'll call it my present;
her wrapping of words I'll never forget
tying in bows the heartstrings that bind,
and I cried becasue she loves me that much.

It's been so long looking forward to,
to go back again and stitch the threads tighter
and stroll down the pathway of years
holding so close ever after.

Gathering memories in the autumn of our lives
raking through leaves hand in hand,
walking under the trees we started from seed
surrounding ourselves in the splendor.

Spreading the blanket of sisterly love
a stitch in our own time to weave~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A thank you note to my sister for the best Birthday present ever!!
I'm off to Maine to glory in it!!!
I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's present...
and spending time in her presence...

Waving at you~

From one coast to another, its a godsend when family can be united.  I am sooooo happy for you, Lor, as i know how much you miss sis and Mom.  What a tremendous gift she gave, and btw,
Happy Birthday next week!  I would sing it to ya, but i stopped the local birds from mating for over a year when i last attempted to sing Happy Birthday!
Have a great time, L.
