As little girls we gravitated together
There was no-one else; you see
Just you and me!
The boys were a pain!
It was you and me against
The whole wide world!
As little girls go
You were lonely; I know!
So together we faced life!
When you went away
I missed your company!
I missed your lovely smile!
I missed our tiffs and fights!
I missed everything we'd grown to be!
You; were my sister; you see!
Yes; just you and me
Climbing my favourite tree
Together we would
Make cubby houses and then
Take our precious time
Play-acting and pretend
Our fences we would mend
Mothers and babies we would be
Playing in my almond tree
My place of rest
My space; my hiding place
Together this we shared!
