We glided along together
Idyllic and in utter calm
The bitter cold nibbled our lips
As I felt the warmth from your palm
Hand in hand we skated
Smiling and totally as one
You were my big sister
I embraced us both having fun
A stumble onto the floor
And a tear rolled down my face
Don't cry my little brother
I'll protect you in this place
It was then you became my amulet
From all the things that are bad
Security shone like a ray of light
And I felt oh so glad
Then I heard the sound
Of a crack spreading on the ice
You pushed me away in desperation
This game suddenly wasn't nice
Down you fell into the water
And silence covered my tiny ears
As your porcelain face floated beneath me
Confirming the worst of my fears
I sat and waited for hours
To see you emerge from the depths below
But ofcourse it never did happen
You saved me and that's all I'll ever know
