The Girl and the Goldfish Bowl

She stood there just staring
Staring endlessly at his BIG GOOGLY EYES
He was her best friend and they were worlds apart 
Separated by glass and about 20 ounces of crystal clear water
She stood there pondering what was going through his mind
He held his position swimming ever so carelessly contemplating the very same thing

She has the biggest blue eyes and she is my dearest friend!
She cares so much for me
Always watching me 
Protecting me from harm
Feeding me and changing my water like clockwork
I couldn't have chosen a better friend, he thought

He surveyed the room and he surveyed her big beautiful blue eyes
He thanked the Creator for sending him a most special caregiver
Thank you, God! 
She has a heart of gold!
