Sisters

Sisters 
walked
down the grandparents stairs
"Im going" said the oldest
unafraid
unawares
"Me too" 
said the second, gripping the bannister tight
(she couldn't see around her sister, but that was alright).
"Me too" said the small one
gripping on for dear life
then she dropped to her bottom
and bumped carefully down
to where Mom was in the kitchen
singing 
a lovely sound.
