recall first school day I stood weeping, scared to move we held hands at five she vowed to look after me we were close, with a deep bond we had sweet-sad thoughts dispute with football or dolls taking both shows care saddened by her lengthy trip she cupped my cheeks and we kissed she flushed when I grinned felt proud and had butterflies I soothed her last fall I hugged her and wiped her tears we took the shield out chatting hopes ostracise fears Brooke faded at age twenty-four I love her thoughts view her tomb shares highs and lows for now, she'll stand as best friend 1st Place Contest Winner Written: August 10, 2022 Syllables checked by HMS.com Inspired by “Childhood Nostalgia” Poetry Contest Sponsor: JCB Brul

Such sadness at losing your best friend so early yet tinged with the comforting blanket of your happy memories from age five! I lost a dear friend about the same age. I still miss her so much! My poem Tribute is about Barbie. Sending you blessings on wings of comfort dear friend! Congratulations on your win!
