Poetry Corner: Best Friends

Another song, this one is from my own experiences growing up in my family. What can I say? The holidays are here... a time for sweet memories and flickering candlelight.My Best FriendsHelping Mommy in the kitchen, licking out the bowl;When we got an owie, Mommy’s kiss could make us whole;Wrestling with Daddy, after dishes were done,Dancing in the living room, memories of fun.Family bondsOf love so strongGrowing up togetherMade us friends foreverBrothers and sister, my best friendsRunning through the sprinkler or playing make-believeBaseball in the back yard, and climbing up tall trees,Eating supper together, every single nightDaddy reading stories before turning out the lights.Family bondsOf love so strongGrowing up togetherMade us friends foreverBrothers and sister, my best friendsAnd though we grow and live miles apartThese memories always live in my heartThey make me stop, they make me smileReminding me for just a whileFamily bondsOf love so strongGrowing up togetherMade us friends foreverBrothers and sister, my best friendsAnd now we’ve grown, we’re miles apartSweet memories stay alive in my heartAnd though I know childhood must endI’m never alone, nor without friends
