Little sister,
come and play On this beautiful, spring
day Calling names and starting
scraps Walking by the railroad
tracks
Sharing secrets, peeking at
boys Fixing the little ones' broken
toys Old enough to go to school Trying to
follow the Golden Rule
Brushing our hair
and letting it grow Mother teaching us how to
sew Doing homework; sharing
chores Hurrying up to go outdoors Singing together; learning to
dance Making fudge at every
chance Christmas plays and jumping
rope Writing diaries full of
hope
Making wishes; dreaming
dreams Heads so full of girlish
schemes Trying to be Daddy's favorite
girl Grabbing his hands and 'round him
whirl
Jumping, splashing in the
creek Slurping melons that we'd
sneak Leafing through the catalog Going to
Butler's in the fog Riding the train to
Williamson Trying Mother's jewelry
on Eating flitters that we fried Rocking
the baby when it cried
Gathering walnuts
in the fall Scurrying to find the most of
all Trick or Treating on
Halloween Swinging with Cheryl sitting in
between
Sneaking Mother's grown-up
tales Being switched amid our
wails Smoking a corn silk
cigarette Barfing as our bodies sweat Growing up and moving
away Husbands and children held our
sway Seeing each other occasionally Not as
close as we used to be
Never thinking you
would go away Shattering our world that
fateful day Leaving a spot of
emptiness That once was filled with
happiness
Little sister, born in
spring Dwelling now where angels sing One
day, with you again I'll be Sisters
throughout eternity Kathleen McCoy
