My Beautiful Friend... Happy Birthday

My beautiful friend

She is beautiful

I’d tell anyone who’d ask

You might wonder

 about our romance

We played with  that

in convention’s trance

But she’s just my beautiful friend

We were kids

 running side by side

Our feet glided over the rail way ties

Stopped short

of the river bridge

Our feet dangling over the edge

 Watched the river

as it wrinkled and spread

Diving in just over our heads

the surface was a marquee of our skipping debris

We just enjoyed the splash

With my beautiful friend

There was hide n seek and kick the can

With my beautiful friend

Our superheroes flew as fast as we ran

With my beautiful friend

our adventures were well at hand

with my beautiful friend

with my beautiful friend

We shared stories

saluting our past’s glories

Dreams of our future flew high and fast

 Danced

to Springsteen’s, No Surrender

Swearing to friendship

both good and vast

I was a foot taller

  she was bigger than me

Her mind’s eye

worked hard to see free

where living teetered between work  and play

And life 's liberty  ran more than a day 

My romantic eye was just a guess

posturing purpose with a quest

 living  teetered  between a  instant 

 my future was no more than a week

 With my beautiful friend

There was hide n seek and kick the can

With my beautiful friend

Our superheroes flew as fast as we ran

With my beautiful friend

 our adventures were well at hand

with my beautiful friend

with my beautiful friend

 Different views with a different pace

we still celebrate stories
 of our present glories 
holding  a friendship both good and vast

 These seasons have passed and through time

The  teeter has not always been well

 But over all we were caught when we fell

Thanks to our beautiful friend

She is beautiful

I’d tell anyone who’d ask

You might wonder about our romance

We played with that

in convention’s trance

But she’s just my beautiful friend
