Sarah and Sandy and Sally and Sue

Sarah and Sandy and Sally and Sue
They played at games, like me or you;
Sweet Sarah, she played a game all her own
While waiting still waiting to finally be grown, and
Sandy, she played with with the things she knew,
At raggedy dolls and raggedy Sue;
And Sally, she played with risk and with chance,
And teetered her way through her tom boy's dance.
All four did wander and lost their way,
As childhood comes not again to this day,
For whatever once was then comes not again
As girls grow up in a world full of men.
