From Little Girls

It only seems like yesterday

Since we were little girls

With brown and yellow uniforms

While ribbons dressed our curls

Down the seaside avenue

We'd walk to school together

Each day was like eternity

And life stretched on forever

From little girls to teenagers

We'd always keep in touch

Fashion faux pas, silly hair styles

Boyfriends and the such

Before we both got married

Mad adventures made us laugh

Our trip to Scotland, folks we met

Until you moved to bath

Then came along our children

Little people we had made

We'd watch them dance in sunshine

While we stood inside the shade

All friendships can be precious

Or just melt in time like snow

But priceless is the friendship

When, from little girls, you grow

Our lives have weaved a story

Where we both have played a part

Me in yours and yours in mine

Aged seven, was the start

You're such a loyal and beautiful

Unique and treasured friend

That no amount of words I write

Could hold the love I send
