When I was just a little girl
I had a friend that meant the world.
We promised that we would be
Forever friends for eternity.
*~*~*
We played and played everyday
And made up games along the way.
We had one special day you see
And it came just once a week.
*~*~*
We would dress up in Sunday best
And bring our dolls along as guest.
The table was always fit for a queen
Our long dark hair, with ribbons stream.
*~*~*
Our little teaparty was under the trees
Of gardenia blossoms sweet as could be.
We would pretend that we were famous
But, Chelsea my kitty, would tame us.
*~*~*
Her name was Siggy, mine was Shy
We loved to say, "We will never say bye
We will always be forever friends,
We will play together, until the end."
*~*~*
No thoughts about tomorrow
Or days full of sorrow,
Just happy and carefree
Always Siggy and Me.
*~*~*
That special day of every week
Would have never been complete.
Without our make believe,
And innocence that we conceived.
*~*~*
Now we are older and as I look back
Forever friends we are without an act.
I realize in my mind about the early days,
It was my imagination, you know what they say.
*~*~*
But to me it seems so surreal
And the sound of it has such appeal,
Who knew that we would actually meet
And forever friends, make complete.
*~*~*
There are those that don't believe
That God has planned what we receive,
But this one thing I know for sure
He could never send a friend I would love more.
*~*~*
