Friendship is Eternal
Yours was not the first hand I clutched bawling
Nor the first pair of warm eyes gazing down at me
But miles cannot deter the strong hands of fate
As we were thrust together, hearts beating unanimously
We learned to ride our bikes and skinned our knees
And mastered the art of mischief in the school
Freckles splattered your face and my bangs grew
And we shared floaters in the swimming pool
And time ventured on but we stayed frozen within
With cheap beer and piercing and midnight strolls
Sweet smelling smoke erasing all our worries and doubts
And proud, fiery defiance to ease our anxious souls
Feeding the baby, harried and looking for work
Chewed fingernails to the stump and frantic eyes
Ten-minute phone calls every day to keep that spark
Before that old childhood friendship burns and dies
Then the clock’s running out and the past is a memory
Its poker chips and soft peas and worn out photographs
Mocking our youthful hearts that beat together so lively
Holding wrinkled hands and forever sharing our laughs
Born friends, and die the same we shall
