One foot after another,

A rhythm of breath and then two steps.

She remembers on this path as a child

Much more gloomy, dark, and missing her brother.

He wasn't gone, just not around.

She was told,

"Sometimes life gets busy"

"I wish..." she frowned.

She has always believed

Believed in shooting stars, family and more.

As much as a fourteen year old could

She dreamed.

Dreamed one day her one wish would come true.

One wish

What was it?

Her brother to come home.
