My Childhood Friend

MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND
(by Michelle L. LeBlanc 03/16/2025)
Dedicated to Connie Steeves

Our friendship goes way back
I believe we were in grade 3?
In our brown and beige uniforms
At Lower Coverdale Christian Academy 

At first, I hung out with your sister 
But little did I ever know 
That we would become much closer 
And our friendship would surely grow 

I remember you and your family 
Would always sit in the second pew 
Little did I know at that time 
All the trouble you were going through 

Despite it all, you found your smile
And we certainly had lots of fun 
Especially in our teenage years 
At Messiah Youth Mission, we sung

You always loved me so dearly
And for that I will never forget 
Friends didn't come so easy for me then
But on your friendship, I could bet 

Though we lost touch throughout the years 
I'm so happy we found each other again 
Oh how I love you so much
My dear, Connie, my oldest childhood friend

And now I have to say goodbye 
Your friendship I will surely miss
Please know how much I love you 
As our memories we reminisce!
