Smiles to the Skies

He accepted my work.... my smile is wider than the skies right now.. Until.. I ran into one of my brothers... my face dropped... as he approached me... Yamka.. father wishes to see you...

I love my pappa..and my mamma... more anything.. but.. whenever he wanted to see me it was one of two things.. I was in trouble. or I was really in trouble.... But obedient daughter that I am.. I headed to my fathers wagon... I kept my head up cause I knew at least I done something the right way.

Well there were my brothers.. my father and mother.. all with the saddest looks on their face... as I headed towards the wagon.. Did someone go to the cities of the dust? I thought maybe Uncle had .. or someone... Until I got closer.. and I could see there on the step was a small parcel.. and mother had made sweetcakes... Then my father.. my father mind you.. drew me into his arms.. and hugged the life out of me... He whispered words to my hears for only me to hear... and I started to cry... I am proud of you my little blossom.. No words could have made me so happy..

And so my brothers all hugged me in turn.. and swatted my backside in turn... we ate cake and I told them all of the 1st fires... It was a good day.
