across
that busy street.
Personally
I thought
it was an incredible feat.
We smiled at the sun
and innocence
led the way.
My little sister
and I
went to the store today.
I squeezed your hand
and kept you
by my side.
We conquered our fear
with victory
and pride.
Candy tastes sweeter
with someone
like you.
Oh sister,
such memories
will stay with us too.
So please don't tell Mum
what we did
today
or else
she will ground us
with her final say.
She'll make us eat
all of those vegetables
on our plate.
You'll close your eyes
at the thought
and hesitate.
Throw away your gum
and clean
your face
by hiding
our secrets
in a saving grace.
Candy always tasted
sweeter
with someone like you.
Oh sister,
such memories
with stay with us too.
