A Wedding Anniversary…
Sisters

A wedding anniversary.
50 years.
My sister and her husband
so dear.
Sisters
A Vermont visit.
We sit side by side.
No space between.
Sisters
In disbelief of
the swift passage of time.
We once shared a bedroom in
our parents’ home.
Each night we chatted till we slept.
Sisters
Their wedding album tinged with age.
We two have aged.
The crackle of each page.
One photo to
the next.
We paused often.
Parents’ loving faces.
His and hers.
Reminisce we did
remembering the day.
Sisters
A beautiful bride she was.
Beautiful she is.
A bridesmaid in lilac with fresh flowers
in my hair.
Sisters
Attendees dated in their dress.
Their stories reach our heart.
We confess.
Sisters
We spy neighbors.
Business associates.
Family members too.
We giggle at our memory.
We share so many memories.
Sisters
We laughed so hard.
And loved even harder.
We shared so many lifetimes.
We know each other like no other.
