MY BABY SISTER "HAPPY 56 th BIRTHDAY"By: Lavina Burgess 4/19/2004 “Happy Birthday” dear baby sister “Oh” where did the years go? It seemed only yesterday You were with me everyday I remember when I was six And you were setting on my lap We listen to the birds, up in the tree And your tiny fingers, clinging to me That awful scar, that's on your left knee Is now an ugly scar, for all to see I still see the pain and the fear in your eyes And wished the doctor... Had stitched you up better, and had felt your pain At first it was fun, we were playing hide-n-seek Then the fear began, when you fell On that darn old beer bottle That was behind the barn That gashed your knee With all the sweet memories... I have of you Sometimes I look around... To see if your shadow, is close to me You were so lucky, and I was too To have so many brothers and sisters To have someone to love And care for me and you When Barbara and I got married We went different ways Mom and dad moved That left you and our little brother all alone With memories of bad, that are washed away And good memories, that you share today I missed my baby sister With her little round face, a face so soft And her slightly slanted eyes Who, we once called... “Our Little Chinaman Doll” No more shadows when I walk Only memories when we talk But... one thing I can say my dear You'll always be... "My Little Baby Sister" to me! Send Feedback/Comments |
