There are pictures on the piano
Pictures of the family
Mostly my kids but there's an old
Picture of you and me
You were five and I was six
In 1952
That was forty years ago
How could it be true?
We were sitting outside drawing
At a table meant for cards
And it must have been in autumn
Falling leaves in the front yard
With a shoe box full of crayons
Full of colors oh so bright
In a picture in a plastic frame
A snapshot black and white
You were looking at my paper
Watching what I drew
It was natural: I was older
Thirteen months more than you
A brother and a sister
A little boy and girl
And whoever took that picture
Captured our own world
