9 TIFERES 9 Tiferes Today is excited to present the third edition of THE LITERARY LOUNGE, which features writing by our very own students. Thank you to Ayelet Reiter of grade 11 for her submission. While I Was Walking, I Turned a Corner By: Ayelet Reiter I walk with my sister as the sun starts to rise. Serene in her confidence, my worry subsides. For we delight in the sunrise and trill of the birds, a feeling of contentment beyond any words. But an unwanted thought scratches the back of my mind. By next year our pleasant walks will be lost in time. For there comes that moment when a bird flies away; what will I do when she goes and I stay? Ah, but she matured since she first walked alone. Experience built for her a wisdom-laced throne. Now I know better, time confidence does lend, when I, as the senior, replay the scene again. But not as the junior, feeling a lack of surety; for my young sister, I'll be the one full of maturity.
