Cousins Making Memories

Three cousins who know how to sew
Are cutting and talking and laughing.
Telling stories that make no sense to grown ups
But are hilarious to each other.

Stitch. Stitch. Stich. Hem. Hem. Hem.
Sew. Sew. Sew. Using a thimble.
Cutting threads, showing each other their projects.
Dolly’s blouse, dolly’s skirt, dolly’s dress.

Three cousins making memories
That will be forgotten for sixty years
Until they find their box of dolly clothes
And it all comes back, making them smile.

Those treasures are so wonderful when we discover them after many years.

It is so much fun to find and remember things.
