SISTERS
(DUET) from "Mary Shelley and Her Frankenstein"
by Shirley
R. Barasch
Sisters,
we have been like sisters
So very like
sisters are we
More than
that, you truly have been my one and only friend
Truly, I've
been your friend. Loyal to the end
Sharing everything
together
sharing together
Whispering
in the dark and sneaking down the stairs
And listening
at the door
O, what tales
we've heard
We must always
stick together; writing in our journals
Each little
thing we do and see
We must stick
together and writing in our journals each little thing we do
We are so
closely bound together. Together, just as two real sisters would
be.
Secrets,
sharing all our secrets
Just our
own
First you
write in your diary
Then I will
write in mine
Don't tell
anyone!
Oh, what
fun we had together
Making mother
mad and never doing chores
And behind
locked doors
She would
take a fit!
I still blush
from it.
Wonders soon
will fall upon us and we will discover
And share
as sisters often do
Out there,
Adventure lies before us
I'll never
ever want to leave you
I can se
the future is waiting for me
My life will
have a new beginning
Nothing will
ever come between us
Out there
I see my true love is coming for me
For we will
always be as two sisters should be.
