REFLECTIONS ON OUR SISSY'S SMILE

For a few years,
our sweet sissy
has been assisting with
living history displays
and sailing classes
aboard tall ships.
She started out as a volunteer
on the Pilgrim in
Dana Point Harbor.

She now lives aboard
the Irving Johnson,
which is a training vessel,
through the LA Maritime Institute.
Some of you or your children
might have been aboard this ship.

No she is not a pirate,

nor does she dress
in fancy dresses.

Because sometimes she might
have to do the dreaded job
of cleaning out the bilge.

But this is her favorite job -
climbing the mast to furl the sails.
She is the one who is topmost
(makes our Mom's knees quake)

This is a job she loves

And you can tell it
by her beautiful smile.

We love our sissy!!

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi
