The hot sun looked like rain on my skin
Pooling on my skin
Each step was one closer to the end
I did not know you were waiting for me
But you waited patiently

I carried my bag in the same way
That I carried my sins
Looking so forward to laying them down
for at least a little while
But I walk on, holding tightly
To all I had

But I reached you, stopping my steps
Separated by black bars twice your height
You looked at me with bright blue eyes
And a silent mouth
Holding out a bowl of blueberries

Not only is the sun rain on my skin
But rain sprinkles from my eyes
How can someone so small
Someone who does not understand me
Love me so well

You and your sister
You gave berries but took my heart
Never can I forget those small hands
Nor those glowing eyes
Or the taste of your sweet blueberries
