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!
