A Poem

Today I recieved a note of thanks and a mixed CD from Beck (my best friend) for being in her wedding. Attached was the following poem that is not only perfect of our relationship, but of our whole group of "girls". I just wanted to share it with you all.

let's become
little old ladies together
we'll stay up late
looking at photo albums,
telling "remember when" stories
and laughing until our sides ache.

let's become
eccentric together
we'll be the kind of old ladies
who wear silly hats and get away with behaving
badly in places

and if anybody should ask
how long we've been friends,
we'll say, "oh, forever...
since before you were
ever born!"

let's become
little old ladies together...
because a friendship like ours
can only grow better
through the years.
