Dear Penny
Summertime is around again
my feet are burning like when we danced all night that summer
it was July, and the long rain had finally stopped
you were waiting at the front wearing your most precious skirt
ginger hair tied up tight
you tousled my hair for being late
Remember?
we danced till our shoes were caked with mud
your curls tickled my cheeks whenever you twirled
i was real sorry for your ruined shoes
Look at me now, Penny
you’d poke my old belly
point at my gray hair and laugh
you had to go back home pretty early
but don’t you worry
i’ll be there someday
with brand new shoes
to dance with you once more
and we’ll never have to stop
we’ll be forever young
So wait for me at the heaven’s door
