Dedicated to Dee... who has a wisdom all her own! Learned From Little Sister I used to hate this skin -- the not perfect smile the flaws I saw whenever a mirror sneered in my direction. And then she danced in, laughing bubbly full of life lusty bloody marvelous she is -- and as I watched her I started to wonder if I were not a little special. Maybe not that bad... maybe almost a little bit worthy of being called "love" by a man who sounded like he meant it in spades. She listened, cheered, danced laughed and called me a twit when I needed to hear and before I knew it I was dancing too... and I lost tons of lead, eased up on my heart grew fairy wings and became Elven hearing her laugh at my surprise. She taught me to love myself with all the warts and scars and when I did suddenly I was loved back--- from all directions. So little sister of the happy feet and boundless heart and endless pluck thank you... for teaching me and helping me to soar. |
