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!
