Four Walls, A Room, A Safe Haven
One small room shared by two sisters
Two twin beds
A book shelf
A book to share
A dresser full of Pants, shirts and dresses
A radio
A wall full of teen heart-throbs
A closet full of Sunday dresses
This one small room was their haven
Talks about boys
Talks about their hopes and fears
Talks of all they hoped to become
Talks of the pain they endured
And why they endured it
This room was theirs
They knew that within those four walls
They were safe from all they feared
They could keep hold of their dreams
They could run from those who wanted to cause them harm
The four walls that held their room together
Held them together
Nothing was the same outside of those four walls
Who would ever have thought that happiness, comfort and safety
Could be found in room that was like a box and fit like a glove
Aside from each other their room was all they needed to keep them safe
As long as they were together
