The school bus was full up one rainy day You can't come aboard the driver did say Mary cried for she would be late for school And being late went against the school rules. Yet the driver had a heart worth pure gold He couldn't leave Mary stood in rain and cold Someone may offer a lift, he then thought His mind a kaleidoscope of discourse. So the driver asked a sweet natured lass Could little Mary please sit on her lap Yes Mary can, the gracious girly said And a friendship grew of the special best. Still the two girls remain pals to this day Sharing life's ups and downs along the way With many special times they can recall But the one on the bus is best of all.

Special lifelong friends are secret blessings that life presents you. Your retelling touched that feeling for me. How many years has it been?...67 for me. Best -Ken

Beryl, a story like this makes me smile. We need tales of kindness and empathy in this crazy world of ours. The way you tell it really resonates with good feeling.

What a sweet caring poem, from which we can learn how to share kindness and goodwill. I'm so glad they are best friends up to this day and sure the friendship will continue forever. Be well dear Beryl. Blessings, Jenifer.

Thank you so much Victor, it’s good when friendships develop, as the song said “You’ve gotta have friends, all you really need is friends. Hugs, Beryl

Thank you Deb, no it wasn’t me, but I’m sure I’d have said yes if I had been asked the question… Bery x
