They would stand
In a foot of water
Trying to catch fish
But mostly catching colds
She had been his friend
Since the time since they first met
It seems so long ago
They were two years old
There was the time
When they were fooled
By the shiny rock
In the wading pool
He moved closer
Trying not to stir
He reached down so fast
That he fell in
She laughed, “That’s a rock
Not a fish’s fin”
And soaking wet
He laughed along with her
They were friends down to the core
They had played and shared and more
So many times
They both knew each other’s side
They had laughed and cried
Together all of their lives
They were king and queen
Of all that they had seen
And they were best friends
Well from that day on
He kept that stone like a priceless gem
All of his own
In his closet
By the fishing gear
Seasons changed
Time passed but what remained
Was their friendship
Which grew stronger every year
But then one day her dad said
“Well we gotta go
There’s a great job
Waiting for me in Ohio”
She knew she’d miss her home and
The place that she had grown and
Most of all
She’d miss her best friend
They were friends down to the core
They had played and shared and more
So many times
They both knew each other’s side
They had laughed and cried
Together all of their lives
They were king and queen
Of all that they had seen
And they were best friends
So with the car packed in the drive
They hugged each other one last time
He wanted her to stay
She began to cry and picture things they’d done
And things they’d never tried
And as she turned away
She noticed something in her hand
He whispered so she’d understand
“Here, take my shiny jewel”
Then he cleared to say
“I’ll never be too far away
‘Cause you take a piece of me with you”
They were friends down to the core
They had played and shared and more
So many times
They both knew each other’s side
They had laughed and cried
Together all of their lives
They were king and queen
Of all that they had seen
And they were best friends
