Good Morning. Your challenge if you wish to accept it shall be that of which aging is made of. Go back in your time capsule and find your very first good memory. Okay, lock in on it and write. This time there are no rules. No mandatory forms either. Just write whatever you can remember about the very first happy moment you ever experienced.
Now this challenge was easy to come up with but might not be as simple to create. Hopefully it will leave you with a smile or at least a happy tear.
Have fun and go write!

"Dearest Sister"
ReplyDeleteOf only three and plainly in need
For attention was a calming blessing
That I was forever lacking
She was only fourteen but never
Did she act the age she had lived
Her smile and love cover me so
And left the longing to being alone
Her goodnights were always amazing
Her smile and voice so sweet
Dear sister you managed to supplement
A mother that was in desperate want of help
Though you never know, the night that
I knew you loved me beyond the ties
That bond us forever and more
Was as simple as a pretzel to a quench
A quite hunger but oh how I saw it beyond that moment
Your Angel face shall never leave my heart
Nor shall our love ever part
Baby Brother Comes--

I was three.
Daddy played with me.
I watched him vaccuum the rug,
something I don't remember his doing
in the intervening fifty-seven years.
Mommy had been gone a few days,
and I missed her.
She came home with a bundle.
My dad had told me she was bringing
home a baby brother to play with me.
I tossed the bright rubber ball
into the baby bassinette.
No ball came back to me.
Disappointed, I had to wait to play
with my brother, but he was worth it.
