We've shared some times old girl And I can call you that, For I reached old girl status Just a few years back:
When I look back on younger years You've always been right there, Back,in struggling teenage times Sharing laughter,fights,and tears:
We've shared the birth of children They made our lives so full, We'd often drift away,somewhat But something always pulled:
Pulled back to family circle And there we would recap, Things of both past and present Comparing worldly paths:
And now today we both have reached That one half century day,(WOW!!) My how it flew for me and you Now I take pause,to say:
Before another day is gone I think that you should know, I treasure Sisterhood,we've shared And marvel at our growth:
For we each know,from wence we came And I'm extremly proud, That we've arrived in tact,my friend And if our Lord allows:
Let's make a lot of noise,old girl In time that we have left, Let's make those memories loud & clear Least younger ones forget:
That we were here together Before their time began, And we'll be there to gather them When their time draws to end: BY: Bobby Smith (copyright:1996 2nd collection |
