Blue Dress

Little sister of mine oh why do you cry? I've been asked to dance and I've nothing to wear I am sixteen and my life is passing by Oh, Little Sister, haven't we all been there Ah, but I have a dress of the palest blue I' m sure it will fit and it's made to dance With your golden hair it is perfect for you What better way to begin a new romance That was long ago - big sister died today Now I am a grandma because of a blue dress That she gave me to wear in a casual way I remember that night that she said "God Bless" And so He did with a husband without peer Five children who have families of their own So many grandchildren that I hold so dear And the magic blue dress given once on loan 12-12-19 Contest: Blue Dress Spomsor: Anthony Slausin
