My Rose

I imagine that if you were really on this trip with me, I’d probably have needed to get an extra bed in each room we are staying with.  Being sisters, you probably would not care to share a bed (I just couldn’t share with your mom either – she kicks). So each night, we’d get a roll a way bed.  At some point, I’m sure – one or both of you would nestle up with me in my bed.  For just a few minutes, you’d stop being the “big grown up girl” you are and you’d allow me to hold you like I did when you were a little girl.  I’d stroke your hair and remember how small you were once in my arms.  We’d probably have the radio/ TV on in the hotel room.  And perhaps this song might make this moment with you that much sweeter.
