Wednesday Poetic Asides--Until We Meet Again

Sisters

We used to see each other day.
We had a specific order around the table—
Judy, Linda, Kathy, Karen, me.
We fought, laughed, played, grew together.
So many experiences:
The Sunflower Club, Girl Scouts
Hikes all over the neighborhood
Skating, Hide and Seek, Sardines
Reading #5 and playing Scrabble
Vacations in Delaware
and the Up at the Bus
Good times at Shannon Creek Park
Mowing, gardening, more mowing
Croquet and badminton with cousins and boyfriends
Every Christmas Eve at Pappap’s
Now, we have phone calls, blogs,
and Facebook till we meet again.
We’re not a daily part of each other’s lives,
but yet, we are.
