Warm smiles
and hot tears
sleeping and rolling in the grass
constellations
and dusty paths
tiny paper hearts
the smell of glue
and the soft touch of cotton.
messy
chilly water and tan skin
blanket forts and games under the trees
sopping wet t- shirts, and misty sprinklers.
lemon-aid stands and sweet chocolate and song and art filled dreams
and stories about tigers on playgrounds,
and getting bigger
and laughter
laughter
laughter!
Sweet voices drifting over grilled cheese sandwiches, and lopsided chocolate chip cookies.
Marshmallow contests,
and gingerbread houses-
scraped knees and Christmas morning.
Homemade jewelry and messy red nails.
Hot baths after snowmen rides and frozen feet.
Games and sleep overs with silly stories and hide and seek, and piling up cushions and leaping off the edge of the couch.
Contests and drawing, and sports and cuts and bruises and fights and tears,
the greenest grass bled all over white shorts.
Bike rides and secret places
FUN
FUN
FUN!
Getting into TROUBLE !
That childhood,
spent with you,
forever and ever
within me.
We can remember to never grow up
when we can smell the grass, hear the laughter,
and jump for joy in the rainbowed mist of a sprinkler
as two little girls forever known as
Sarah & Catherine
Catherine & Sarah
BFF
