(In celebration of a 92 year old hospice patient and her 90 year-old sister. A rare breed of Women whose lives spanned two centuries. They grew their own vegetable, fortified their community with love -- and vegetable! And, spent 30 minutes a day on a rowing machine to keep their health):
Two sisters always together
Never married, pure as snow
Ninety years of laughter
Of late night talks across the bedposts
Of sharing secrets
A friendship few can imagine
No struggle for position
The beginning happened so long ago
Few marriages have shared such a rare pleasure...
Unity from beginning to end
Valentine’s Day 2001
Sisters
