dear sister.
do you remember that day we ran so fast our boots stayed behind us? do you remember when i cried because i thought my life was terrible, & really i was just tired? you remember when we stood on the hill, with our arms around eachother, & we just stayed like that for hours? & then we looked at eachother, & we both had tears.
cause we felt so very blessed. & then we would walk away hand in hand, & we would pick dried bouquets all the way home. the mountains would watch us & the rose in our cheeks would match the sunset. do you remember that? remember when we would run on our horses, faster then the wind. covering miles of childhood. our cowboy hats blowing off & landing far behind us. & then we would laugh. & when our ponies would want to go home but we weren't done exploring, & our short little legs would kick & kick. trying to change thier minds. sometimes when we were hot & bothered we would go find popsicles hiding amongst the meds in the barn fridge.
i remember that.
when i looked back into your eyes,
when you were following me down the creek path,
i saw love. i saw passion for adventure.
i saw that u loved me.
i saw a drive for more memories.
what i saw in your eyes i knew i had in mine.
we were lost in something i called life.
& i didn't realize it, until now.
we were lost in life,
a storybook involving two kindred spirits,
running down a road of joy.
with nothing but joy in mind.
our hearts were filled with a light substance,
that thought only of sunshine.
i am thankful for that childhood with you.
i am thankful for fishburn ranch.
it taught us what we needed to know.
& it still is.
i miss you.
& i will love you,
until the cows come home.
xo, your little sister ♡
