Family/Friends Remember the first day we met
At your house for Thanksgiving
How could either of us forget?
That was just the beginning
You brought a smile to my face
When I didn’t have one to show
In your heart I had a place
A place no one else could go
When we dreamed up our futures
We were always together
Knowing without a doubt
We’d be best friends forever
Spending every vacation we had
Making memories we’d obtain
Never fought, never got mad
We were too busy raising Cain
Singing made up songs in the park
Spinning on the merry-go-round
Scaring each other in the dark
By making creepy sounds
We lugged our Barbies everywhere
And walked barefoot in the streets
Then graduated to make-up and hair
And guys we tried to meet
You always knew how to make me laugh
Something I needed back then
And when things went wrong on my behalf
You never stopped being my friend
When I left, you knew I’d come home
Even when I insisted I wouldn’t
I was stubborn, I should have known
But you still believed in me when I couldn’t
So many years and we’ve come a long way
From those two silly girls we used to be
And here you are on your Wedding Day
Standing right in front of me
So many changes throughout the years
And now you have a new last name
It’s hard for me to hold back the tears
Because there’s nothing that’s the same
But the joy I see on your face today
As we gather to celebrate your new life
Will stand out from the memories we’ve packed away
Cuz I witnessed your vows as a wife
And it’s something I’ll always cherish
Because I love to see your smile
These memories we’ve made will not parish
Especially the one of you walking down the aisle ~
