Or was it I was small?
At dizzy heights it wound from sight;
Into our darkened hall.

I couldn’t reach the handrail;
My feet too short to climb;
I’d sit, then pull my legs up next;
One stair at a time!

Bobbing backwards, oh so slow!
I’d sit, swing, and repeat;
Passed by taller legs you know;
While I climbed by my seat!

My sister was much faster;
She’d race right past and laugh;
And then one day they casted her;
To heal a broken calf.

She sat each step beside me;
We swung our legs around.
We climbed in synchronousity;
Sit up, sit up, sit down!

Its easier to criticize;
The methods others use;
Than realize to our surprise;
We wished wed learned them too!

Once the staircase seemed so big
Or was it I was small?
At dizzy heights it wound from sight;
Into our darkened hall.

I couldn’t reach the handrail;
My feet too short to climb;
I’d sit, then pull my legs up next;
One stair at a time!

Bobbing backwards, oh so slow!
I’d sit, swing, and repeat;
Passed by taller legs you know;
While I climbed by my seat!

My sister was much faster;
She’d race right past and laugh;
And then one day they casted her;
To heal a broken calf.

She sat each step beside me;
We swung our legs around.
We climbed in synchronousity;
Sit up, sit up, sit down!

Its easier to criticize;
The methods others use;
Than realize to our surprise;
We wished wed learned them too!
