Sand Covered Angels

Three sunburned noses
The color of roses
Bobby's got a frog in his pocket
Where is your sister
For an hour I’ve missed her
She's trying to find her gold locket

And your tow-headed brother
Has startled his mother
Trying to swallow his dime
Do you really think
The fish liked that ink
Sand covered angels of mine

There's crayons and mittens
And a box full of kittens
Though we always called that cat Tommy
Torn shirts and dresses
And rooms that are messes
And that’s a bit hard on your mommy

Bruises and splinters
And colds in the winter
Making up storiеs that rhyme
Noses need blowing
Clothes you'rе out growing
Sand covered angels of mine

Fingerprints on the wall
Of the bathroom and hall
Mending your toys takes my time
But the joy I would miss
If I couldn't kiss
Sand covered angels of mine
