Funny little things

When I was about four, My sister maybe six
You knitted us Christmas outfits, to wear for Santa Clause
When I was all grown up, My sister a married mom
I found those Christmas outfits, made for Santa Clause
I thought they were hideous
And I wanted to give them away

When you got sick, We didn't even know
And when I finally found out, time was numbered
When I went to visit you, upon your death bed
You couldn't even speak, because of all the drugs
That night after our visit
I cried for half an hour

And those tears wouldn't stop coming
Until I crawled out of my bed
Found that "silly" outfit
And wanted evey last thread

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was so scared I had gotten rid of that outfit that when I found it I didn't want to let it go
