I wish Id known you!
Long ago when my little feet
Toddled along your home
And I could fit both my hands
Into a single one of yours
Oh, it was fun!
To sit outside catching falling flowers
From the old Jacarandá!
And the glasses of warm milk
Just before mamá arrived!
And the sweets!
Dont tell her youd wink in a whisper
And I felt so important!
An accomplice with a secret
And mamá didnt know
And now its all gone!
Ill never grow young
Your hands are gone forever
Every spring purple flowers will fall
And there will be no catching little hands
And there will be no encouraging voice
