Two Boys

"I will live forever" said the boy of eight "If you do so will I" replied his mate A pledge and a promise made right there Between two boys without worries or care One of the boys was smart at school The other was slow and played the fool Friends forever though is what they'd be Cared for each other as you are about to see The smart boy became a barrister of law The slow boy was constantly shown the door Two boys aged eight soon became men With families saw each other now and again Despite a good job and being super smart This man was dying with an attack of the heart His slow friend was with him when he died Into a tissue the tears fell as he wept and cried
