This Girl

Written By: Tamara Thompson

There's this girl I once knew,

I still know her to this day,

I have not seen her in a while,

though, time has never ceased to change.

She has lived on, lived on in a far off place,

a few hello's, with many good bye's along the way,

though this girl has never ceased to change.

She has the same sparkling smile,

the same giddy giggle,

she still continues to make others laugh,

with all that she has to say.

This girl though, I have not seen in many years,

she can still make me smile, giggle and laugh,

right up till' this day.

Her hair is quite the same,

her features have not faded,

her beauty resonates, through the winds of change.

She has never made me sad,

has never made me blue, nor mad...

she was my best friend,

and nothing from the past, can ever be erased.

I remember the day we met, 

the things that she would say,

how she picked me up out of the rain,

out of a puddle,

Showed me the moon.

With a smile, a giggle, a laugh,

this girl could shine up a room;

I tell you, better then anyone-

never missing a cue,

chasing away everyones bad mood.

This girl was the light, on many dark nights,

her care was the hand of a mothers care,

the times when I would fall, her heart was always there...

I have never had a bad word for this girl,

with the smile, giggle and laugh-

you see, she held my hand the most,

when my life was quite lost.

Now, I know that things could never be the same,

our lives are much different, and we could not live it over,

though, I'm not sure if I have ever told her,

how much her friendship has meant,

through all my years, as I grew older...
