My sister
A fixture
Of delight
My sister
A fixture
In my life
My sister
I miss her when she's gone
My sister
I get mad if she's treated wrong
My sister
Her presence blesses me
I remind myself ^ when irritation
Gets the best of me
My sister I apologize for my imperfections
My sister
I am thankful for our connection

Toys in the living room
Toys in the kitchen
Toys on the floor
Toys on the ceiling
Toys in the bathtub
Toys in the toilet
Toys all around us
The world's Bubba's oyster
And he knows it!

I thought that love was just a dream
Something that was not real for me
Put my heart on a leash and reined it in
So that I'd never be let down again
And then you came and showed me care
And maybe more
And seemed sincere
It made me scared
I turned away
And to this day
With deep regret my heart is filled
Although it’s been months, I think of you still

— The End —
