Syncopating Sisters
Once there were sisters in duet
a pair that were tough to forget
Their tap dancing was entwined
as their two lives always aligned
Rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat
kinda sounded something like that
Shuffle ball change, shuffle ball change
shuffling shuffles hard to arrange
First it was toys, then became boys
dance routines turning into noise
Decades spun by, twisted in beat
well worn tunes that seem to repeat
Life with children, illness and pain
plays out its old classic refrain
Tapping toe to heel, heel to toe
sharing small joys, letting them go
If life is a matter of fate
staying in step is no debate
Sense those feelings between sisters
see all the passion it still stirs
