Sisters

After school, all in the park,
sharing secrets; swings and slides,
the traffic barely breathes a sigh
where safe behind the canopy of trees,
we took our turns, absorbed the world ;
best friends, just brief and small divides
that barely breached the trusting eye.

Three decades since, all on the bus,
conversations back and forth,
the traffic roars, blots out the sky;
we talk of trees and swings and slides
the paths we chose along the way.
Still friends, just brief and small divides
that never breach the trusting eye.

I have one sibling...a sister....but we have no closeness...yet i have several female friends who are my
surrogate sisters...and the sharing over so many years is really comforting.
Much to reflect upon and much to wish upon together.

Whether this is about close friends who were like sisters or sisters themselves, I love the closeness after all the decades. I have two sisters, I have also had friends (sadly no longer on this plane) who I ranked as honary sisters. Such a special bond with all of them. Thank you Beccy. Accepting the differences knowing what unites is far stronger.

Hi Chris. It's about my sister and I. Only fourteen months between us. Me now in the corporate world, she in the entirely different world of medicine, but no divides of heart or eye.
