Best Pal

 

We captured frogs
had marble races
got humped by dogs
made up our faces

We walked to the pool
got lost in the woods
played hooky from school
devoured baked goods

We climbed in trees
and hopped on ice floes
scraped up our knees
watched music videos

You helped clean my room
I helped dirty yours
when I couldn’t go play
you finished my chores

Got into punk rock
and changed our hair
adventures followed us
everywhere

Life took us away
to different towns
but still we can share
our ups and downs

I treasure old memories
can’t wait to make new
my lifelong best pal
I love and miss you!
