| My Sister's House The seasons and red-letter days Are calling to me here They sing to me from brightly beaming walls They light on cheery tabletops And up and down the stairs Around each corner and throughout the halls The smell of something wonderful Is filling up the air The homemade soups are begging me to dine Your sister may be cooking too But I must here declare With certainty,“not as good as mine” The needlework’s in progress here For relatives and friends Reflecting tastes and pleasures known so well This central family meeting place Abounds with joy and mirth For grandchildren who’s mom-mom weaves her spell The workshop holds the latest gift Of homemade skill and love The telescope stands poised to meet the sky The jukebox plays a song from youth And everywhere I look Apples, apples, apples meet my eye The birds swoop down, and rabbits come As nature joins us here To celebrate the magic with us all There may be times of chaos here As phones ring, yet I sense This magic reaches even those who call I wouldn’t be surprised, you see For even as I walk Toward the door my heart begins to race Maybe it’s just the mistress here Who makes these rooms unique My sister’s house is a very special place |
| The Child In Me The child in me The child in me I need to awaken the child in me I need that little girl’s company Someone awaken the child in me The child in me The child in me Oh, how I long for the child in me Teach me to see what she used to see Teach me to be what she used to be I want planets, stars, chocolate bars To taste the world like it’s new With magical thoughts that flow like springs do Don’t you wish that you could cling to The child in you The child in you Dreaming what your inner child can do Touching the treetops and heaven too Learning to live with the child in you Celebrate life with the child in you |
