Sisters
Born from the same parents, yet five years apart. Overflowing energy, both are very smart. Differences are night and day, as we watch them play. One Miss Independent, the other attention craved. The youngest is the daring one, she'll try most anything. The oldest seeking watchful eyes, learning everything. Similarities very few, happiness is one. … Continue reading Sisters
