My sister Gayle
Can spring up high
with kindness
and generosity
or remain dormant
under ground
gone under frozen earth.
One of her spring up times
She brought me
a vanilla ice cream cone
in dead of summer.
I had to take a nap
She being four years older didn't
But she brought me
a big vanilla ice cream cone
dripping down cone
softening it
but her presentation
was royal and elegant.
She traveled from the town
to where we were staying.
My sister Gayle
would spring up high
with kindness and generosity.
