In the Blink of an Eye

It started off with two moms, two best friends,
with two young girls with the biggest smiles.
Making handshakes that would last a lifetime,
listening to songs we would sing and dance to,
sharing our laughs and giggles,
playing with Littlest Pet Shop right after school,
having a late afternoon snack.
Until it was time to go back home.

We have seen each other’s ups and downs.
The saying, “I’ll be here for you,” finally has meaning.
Laughing together, crying together, failing together.
The feeling of your presence gives me comfort.
We grew taller, braver, and crazier.
Each moment becomes a new memory to replay.

And just in the blink of an eye,
we will see each other across the stage,
achieving what we once thought was unachievable.
Always looking back at how far we’ve come,
to receive our diplomas and throw our caps.
You, would be the first person I would turn to.
And now, it’s two best friends,
the two young girls with the biggest hearts.
