Two Girls Come to Play
As I look back through the prism of time
There on the porch I see
Two little girls come to play
In their kingdom of fantasy
They climb to their lookout
In the branches high
They sit telling secrets
As the hours pass by
The challenge each other
The challenge each other
Daring tricks to top
Like hanging without hands
And dead man’s drop
“Let’s ride bikes?”
You hear them shout
And before you know it
They’re out and about
Down the Street
And around the block they go
To adventurous places
That they don’t know
Roller skates, dolls
And so much more
But one of their favorites
Was playing store
Mud pies and rocks for eggs
Coffee ground from dried up weeds.
Leaves for lettuce, flowers for fruit
The yard provided all their needs.
With an ironing board
For their counter top
They were open for business
It was time to shop
And there in that front yard store
On many a summer day
The neighbors looked out and saw
Two little girls come to play
They played all day
And never grew tired
Of all the make-believe
Their imagination inspired
Now the years have come and gone
And their toys are all put away
But still the folks can see
Two little girls come to play.
