For My Best Friend
When we were teens , we knew it all.
We married young, not expecting the fall.
Side by side, our children we raised.
Together, as friends, our dreams we chased.
Our children grew, our friendship did too,
And almost forty years later, the friendship's still true.
You had remarried, started raising young ones again.
My second marriage had ended, nearly drove me insane.
Through four marriages, eight kids, grandkids too,
Our friendship remains as if it's still new.
It's the thing I rely on through bad times and good.
In all my ups and downs, you're the one who understood.
I thank God your dear hubby understands our bond
And lets us have our "girl" time of which we're so fond.
When we're old, in our rocking chairs, we'll be sitting side by side
Looking back on this friendship, saying "Boy, what a ride!"
