Sisters

I walked with you
inseparable at times
annoyed by this shadow
that followed your every move

Clinging to your cuff
not wanting to miss a thing
I was afraid you would have all
the fun and adventure without me

Then she came along
holding onto my waist with
little dirty hands and tears in her
eyes she wanted to be a shadow too

Together we three
walked with the sun on our
backs showing our silhouettes hand
on cuff hand to waist oldest to youngest
