There are pictures on the piano, pictures of the family,[00:02:32]

Mostly my kids but there锛噑 an old[00:02:32]

Picture of you and me.[00:02:32]

You were five and I was six In 1952;[00:02:32]

That was forty years ago, how could it be true?[00:02:32]

We were sitting outside drawing[00:02:32]

At a table meant for cards,[00:02:32]

And it must have been in autumn,[00:02:32]

Falling leaves in the front yard,[00:02:32]

With a shoebox full of crayons,[00:02:32]

Full of colors oh so bright,[00:02:32]

In a picture in a plastic frame,[00:02:32]

A snapshot black and white.[00:02:32]

You were looking at my paper, watching what I drew;[00:02:32]

It was natural: I was older,[00:02:32]

Thirteen months more than you.[00:02:32]

A brother and a sister, a little boy and girl,[00:02:32]

And whoever took that picture[00:02:32]

Captured our own world.[00:02:32]

A brother needs a sister to watch what he can do,[00:02:32]

To protect and to torture, to boss around, it锛噑 true;[00:02:32]

But a brother will defend her[00:02:32]

For a sister锛噑 love is pure,[00:02:32]

Because she thinks he锛噑 wonderful[00:02:32]

When he is not so sure.[00:02:32]

In the picture there锛噑 a fender of our old Chevrolet[00:02:32]

Or Pontiac, our dad would know, surely he could say;[00:02:32]

But dad is dead and we grow old;[00:02:32]

It锛噑 true that time flies by;[00:02:32]

And in forty years the world has changed[00:02:32]

As well as you and I.[00:02:32]
