"And though she be but little, she is fierce."- Shakespeare


I asked my sister if she was happy

At eight, there could be a lot of stagnant sadness

On a Sunday afternoon

There could be a lot of questions about

Things over which we both have no control

Such as... daddies... disappearances

Or why the sky is blue

There could be a lot of chaos and confusion swirling

In an eight year-old's mind

So I asked her if she was happy

Little sister nods her head

"Yes," she says

"Hungry, but happy"
