Climbing the steps
with her school bag
and that of a sibling
a five year old girl
finds it arduous.
She continues till
she turns twelve.
A small help from a little girl
never once she refuses. This being
one of the tasks .
The younger is made of
soft stuff, She is caring and patient,
The older one with a slight
defect physically makes big.
Stern and authoritative,
she draws the family close to her.
The younger one is left alone,
unmindful of the estrangement
carries on with a smile
remains placid and passive,
