When you held me in your arms
I knew that you meant it...
I like how you hug me,
I like how you smile...
Goosebumps appear,
A smile crosses my face...
As a little girl I remember the pain
I remember the late night fights...
Walking into school
With her pretty lil head held up high...
A casket lay open
With a young girl inside...
A lonely 3rd grader sleeps all alone
Unaware of the clatter of the night...
Every birthday for every year
For each and every one of my friends...
Trying to follow the directions
Make a left here...
Of all the things I have learned
I only know one true thing...
Once upon a time
On a snowy winter eve...
