This was beautiful lorna, and so achingly sweet. this is the best present you could have got for your sister, you must be very close. i love those childhood images you use at the begining and then use them to make the point that over the passing of the years you two are still friends. I envy you. wish me and my sister was this close. Another 5 from me. Thank you also for your kind words you say about my poems. im so glad you like them. i can never tell if they are good or not until i see the comments. anyway big hug lorna and like chris says in his comments never stop writing.
