Dangling her feet off the edge of a silver-lined cloud,

she peers out over the ledge of heaven

and smiles.

And waves to her sister,

sees she looks sad,

and hums a little lullaby to cheer her aching heart up.

The little girl smiles back,

reassured that she's not alone

and her gaze drifts like lace through some metres of air.

Her heart stops smiling,

the heartache returns,

because she is in love.

And today, she will lose a sister

When she tells her love her name.
