Go Back

Rollerskates, Golden Leaves
Two girls who lived next door

Camping trips, a collapsed tent
Silly little rivalries

Umbrellas on a sunny day
Juice boxes in the snow

And when I broke my leg
They stayed by my side

Aspens in June
Three matching keychains

Ice cream smeared faces
Kites in the sky

Two sets of friendship necklaces
Friends turn to sisters

My favorite birthday party
We'd never laughed harder

Watermelon, pink and plump
Girlhood tastes sweet.

A slip of paper from a cookie
I had kept taped to my desk

It's words stick in my head
"It's fun being a kid"
