Prose No. Two

There are people I know {or have known} that I wish to be more like.  

But none as much as my youngest sister, Rebecca.

She who is patient

She who is quiet {now} more often than she speaks
{although it was not always so, and I liked her just as much when she was a wild, belligerent tumbleweed}

She who is a peacemaker and keeper

She who is fair and honest

She who is a Pandora's box {in a good way} of surprises

She whose heart is tender and spirit is gentle

She who is unaffectedly childlike and wise
 {although I suspect she is unaware of this}

She who sings like the lark outside my bedroom window

She who is as lovely as the sun setting in the summer sky

She who is Rebecca.
