Friends From The Start

I remember when I was small,

We moved to our new home.

I met you living next door,

That was as far as I could roam.

I was four and you were five,

I thought you were the cutest boy alive.

We were friends form the very start,

I think that's when you won my heart.

We played kick-ball, four square, and hide-and-seek,

When I was it I always peeked.

We climbed trees, built snow forts or just sang songs,

What ever we did we always got along.

I always looked up to you,

You always knew just what to do.

As the years passed we both grew up,

We went our separate ways.

You were always in my heart,

That is where you'll always stay.

You are one of my dearest friends,

That's what you'll be till my life ends.

Not many friendships fare that well,

Or make it that many years.

We have something special,

That time or miles can never kill.

You are the big brother I never had,

The one that told me when I was bad.

You were always by my side.

No matter what I did.

How I wish for those days back,

When we were both still kids.
