I was three and you were four.
Two wide-eyed little girls
Life was Simpler than

11 years ago
napping and playing
was all we knew

10 years ago
tag, hot lava monster
these games filled our time

9 years ago
we were enchanted,
by kindergarten

8 years ago
we were still hopeful
of riding the same bus

7 years ago
I can remember waiting with anticipation
to see if we were in the same class

6 years ago
we became best friends
forever

5 years ago
we took our first trip
to the Boundary Waters

4 years ago
was a time
full of excitement

3 years ago
a new journey began
middle school

2 years ago
track, tennis, cross country, speech
activities we now couldn’t do without
1 year ago
we skied with our season passes
for the first time

This year
those wide-eyed little girls
became freshman

Now I’m fourteen and you’re fifteen
we can only grow closer
and continue our long lasting friendship
