#6 Childhood Friends

Dedicated to my cousin, and close friend, Mandy, who is like a sister to me. We are neighbors, and always have been. Which may explain our closeness.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems

Childhood Friends

by Mindy Carpenter

As childhood friends, we grew up together,
Swearing to be friends forever and ever.
Sometimes we would argue and fight,
Other times we would laugh and stay up all night.

We went from playing with games and toys,
To talking and dreaming about different boys.
My thoughts and feelings, to you I would confide,
Never having anything to hide.

Friends we do remain,
Things changing, and things staying the same.
To each other we still listen and share,
About each other, we will always care.

I like this poem. My best friend and I have been friends for 22 years and I am only 27yrs old now so all that is said in this poem fits my situation. She is my friend and there is nothing I can't tell her, we have fought, we did grow up playing then talking about boys, we even moved from state to state together from town to town.
