I was just 1 year, 1 day and then along came you.
No longer was I an only child, instead it was me and you.
‘Kim & Kay’ … we often laughed … we were like some kids T.V!
And with the same initial middle name… we were both K.S then P.
I was thinking through my memories, way too many to share!
You know that’s where you’ll always stay, in my mind you just live there.
So Kay, if you don’t’ mind too much … maybe I’ll share just one or two?
The things that really made us laugh, from the days of me and you.
So Chitty Chitty Bang Bang .. a terrifying film for a kid!
That child catcher made us so scared .. that in my bed we hid.
Bay City Rollers, Donny Osmond … my gawd we loved them all
With our feathered cut and tartan pants … we thought we looked so cool!
And then there was every Sunday, and into the kitchen we’d go.
We’d huddle round the table… and turn on the radio.
Because I didn’t’ hear too well, you’d be armed with a pen.
You’d write down every lyric, and each week you’d do it again.
Like any relationship there were days, where things were good or bad.
But who did we both want to call when we were feeling sad?
There’s things that you and I have shared, and we’ve never told a soul.
Feelings spanning over 50 years .. that will never, ever be told.
So beautiful Sister, my darling Kay …. Go paint the sky a bright hue
And with each and every sunset, I’ll smile and think of you.
I love you, I miss you … I feel so incomplete.
But I am looking forward to the day – when again we both shall meet.
With heart felt love, today, tomorrow and always. Kim.
