sunbows on my mind

Remembering Heidi
on her 57th birthday

- red as the roses during that June afternoon
- orange as the dress on my wedding day she had worn
- yellow as the butterfly that she has become
- green, well, it was her favourite, too,
      just like dad and mom
- blue as we felt when she kept asking why me?
- indigo as how we felt for long ... so miserably
- violet as the flowers on her tomb
      that in my mind never cease to bloom.

my SISTER, so beautiful in her simplicity and repose
  oh how i miss her and love her
  ... like the Little Prince did his rose.
