Working on graduation speech-type poems now... But I think I like this best for Skye and Jane- and their connection. I think this is best for all of us. I think I like this best in the heart of a small reader, or a small writer who knows the great and unpredictable heartbeat of true friendship.
STRINGS OF THE HEART
This string will play out to the very beginning
To a small girl who is terrified of everything
And a hand reaching out to grasp another
And then a laugh, perhaps a tear
This string is severed here
And now I am a still a small girl who is afraid of leaving you behind
And a hand reaching out to grasp another
And then a laugh, and many tears
This string will play out to the very end
To an old woman who is terrified of nothing
And a hand reaching out to grasp another
And then a laugh, perhaps more tears
This string will never be cut.
