My Sister and Me One small hand enveloped in the warmth of one larger Two small girls moving through the wildflowers heading to a destination unknown Fortified with peanut butter sandwiches and jars of chocolate milk. After traveling for a lifetime of minutes, they find refuge in the dampness of an alder patch, among the ferns as the leaves form a canopy and capture the rays of the sun. Speaking with songs of excitement, they spread out their bounty Giggling as they choke on dry bread smeared with the peanuty butter washing it all down with the chocolate sweetness of the milk, they did not know that the secret is that life is precious They only knew that chocolate and peanut butter was heaven. and that no journey is complete without both as they faced the world with dark brown milk mustaches and the scent of peanuts on their breath. aziza |

I wish I had taken such a trip with my baby sister... years spread our time apart; so much so that our younger/older brother was in between... and eight years is a deciding difference. But...IF I could, I would take her back to a time when I could have been a better sister, not so eager to grow up... not so eager to just grow away... thank you for this. I shall send it to her... because peanut butter was, back then, a staple, and chocolate milk, a luxury. |
