They grew up close together…sharing laughter…sharing frowns
playing in their backyards…hanging upside-down.
The world was oh so different then, as they hung so effortlessly
It was a simpler, uncomplicated time…more innocent and free.
A time when all that children needed to do was laugh and sing and play
when hanging upside down…unimpeded…they would sway.
For they were making memories…no future memory would surpass
As they hung there…upside down…or ran barefoot in the grass.
And as they look back at this picture now…it’s those memories they see
awakening from a place where they shall always be…
And when thy close their eyes to remember…that certain time…that certain year
sometimes it brings a smile…sometimes it brings a tear
Because they realize how lucky they are
to have shared a life time of laughter
and of frowns…
from a friendship that began so man-years ago
while hanging upside down.
