Bond of a Sister Chloe Maddox
it’s the early spring morning with a soft glow from the sun and a misty dew on the bluebells droplets sliding on the run it’s the late summer nights with crickets singing a chorus and a sky darker than twilight but lit up by the constellation of Taurus little white diamonds speckle the sky to show Zeus’ mighty form the white bull on high the mighty king of storms it’s the delightful scent of cinnamon on a chilly October day with red orange and gold falling and a voice beckoning me to stay it’s the cup of hot cocoa as the soft white flakes fall or the warmth of a fire after an encounter with a snowball it’s the blanket you wrap yourself up in when a brutal wind whispers it’s a covering full of safety, love, and comfort the unending bond of a sister
