Jimmy & Kelly Another trip to the big white building today Jimmy did not much like getting up with still no sun But it was not that hard, since there was no other way No other way to let Kelly know�know she is the one The one that shines his day Despite various spits and hair pulls between 'em.... She's the one whose light is a special ray She can annoy, but there were smiles with her tricks Yes as a sister she was not at all too bad She was only four years old, not his mature six But these hospital trips could truly make anybody feel sad Said she had cancer of some kind Jimmy could not really understand the name Only wanted to reach out and find Find some hope in a giant sea full of worries and fear Maybe make her and mom and dad smile? Now they each looked far off and not at all near With soon to be surgery, they would all be here awhile.... Jimmy wanted to shine a light in this place But how? What was the way to bring some sun? Then luckily he recalled his funny face The twist of his lips and puff of his cheeks with his tongue way out Always made Kelly laugh, laugh away anything bad, as a matter of fact He started the face with a yelp, ending all doubt Any doubts that now was truly the time to act At first Kelly was in a bit of a stun Jimmy's old hilarious face was back Quickly her startle transformed into smile filled fun She grinned, then laughed and light came to her eyes Jimmy as well as their parents and even a nurse next to the bed All noticed and felt the feeling in the room was only on the rise Finally Jimmy stopped the crazy distortions of his head.... Kelly's smile was a wonderful medicine, to her and to all Making the dark welcome the light Rising high, so high never again to fall...... |
