A Strong Hold
two women, one holding a butterfly-type net w/ heart in it. “when I was young she held my hand to keep me safe. as i grew older she held a net in case I fell. now she holds my heart…she holds me up. my mother’s stronghold doesn’t falter despite the days’ dancing departure.”
Another Bowl
girl in chair, boy holding bowl of ice-cream. “he thinks, she is the most beautiful woman who has ever graced this universe…how did I get so lucky? he says, i love you…do you need another bowl of ice cream? she thinks, he knows i’m on a diet! she says, sure.”
Blue is Blue
girl leaping over plaid, through polka dots. “he said, blue is blue, black is black, & white is white. But she kept seeing polka dots & stripes & even an occasional plaid.”
Buckets of Tears
boy running with bucket, girl crying. “when necessary, he would catch tears…this was a tremendous service…she had spilled lots…before he came.”
Changing Leaves
girl wearing muffler, knee socks, holding basket of leaves. “every year the changing leaves burdened me with a slow grief until he taught me how to carefully pack crimson, vermilion, and golden yellow so i could keep them with me through the gray.”
Dot to Dot
several small girls, holding hands, forming a smile. “we took turns carefully connecting the dots on her freckled face. when we finished, she was smiling.”
Feather laughter
boy, girl dancing. “she loved to fall asleep to the music of their laughter, which floated up & down like feathers & tickled her heart.”
Gifts of eternity
two girls. “…twenty years hasn’t been long enough…for all of the lazy lake days & cozy winter nights, for all of the shared meals & movies & mischief & magic of our friendship…you’re right, but don’t forget: heartfriends are gifts of eternity…twenty years is only the beginning.”
