Happy Birthday, youngest sister



fall is here
hear the yell
back to school
ring the bell
brand new shoes
walking blues
climb the fence
books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

walk with me
suzy lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound

here we are
no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn

numbers letters
learn to spell
nouns and books
and show and tell
playtime we will throw the ball
back to class
through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall

we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

tonight I'll dream
while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts
go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Jack Johnson, We're Going To Be Friends


To my beautiful sister, my best friend, Happy birthday!
