| Happiness was as a child |
| When I played and ran |
| With my cousin and friend |
| Shelbi Susanne |
|
| Only six and a half months apart |
| More like sisters in our hearts |
| Always together up through the years |
| With all the laughter and the tears |
|
| Living in West Covina we would |
| Glide through the fields |
| Creepy crawlies everywhere |
| Sweet smelling blossoms |
| Scenting the warm afternoon air |
|
| Eating berries from the garden |
| Picking flowers for our hair |
| Finding marbles in the dirt |
| Playing without a care |
|
| Hunting for wild kittens in the sheds out back |
| Building forts and climbing trees |
| Swimming and swinging on the swing set |
| Trying to catch our bunnies |
|
| In our playhouse |
| Under the shade of a mulberry tree |
| Playing house and make believe |
| Eating finger sandwiches of peanutbutter and jelly |
|
| Birthday parties out back |
| Children everywhere |
| Gifts, balloons and cake |
| So much fun we had there |
|
| Listening for the ice cream truck |
| Watching cartoons |
| Lying on the couch |
| Playing in my room |
|
| Dance lessons and slumber parties |
| Playing hide and seek |
| Riding our bikes |
| Up and down the street |
|
| Summers on Balboa Island |
| Free to explore and roam |
| Every summer of our lives |
| The beach was our second home |
|
| Going to the fun zone on the ferry |
| Eating a Balboa bar |
| Roller skating around the Island |
| Fun times were never far |
|
| Nights in our room |
| Awake in bed |
| Talking for hours |
| Of what popped into our heads |
|
| Eating lunch at Rocko's Pizzeria |
| A "Killer" sub cut in two |
| Shopping and strolling |
| I'm going to miss you! |
|
| The beach will be so different this year |
| But I know you'll still be there with me |
| Shelbi Susanne to my heart so dear |
| You'll be my Angel by the sea |
|
| My life will forever be |
| Different in so many ways |
| Without my cousin, my friend |
| I will hold you in my heart always |
|
| I Love You |
| Wendy Lee |
