the years go by …

the highs and lows
and the friendship Never goes
The years go by.

Teas and beers and bending ears
The years go by.

Laughs and gaffs and cries and sad eyes and drippy snotty nose
The years go by,

Gins and bins and babes and chick~ins
The years go by,

Dresses and presses and songs and stresses, meetings and eatings and changes and greetings
The years go by,

Tries and flies and sparkles in eyes the years go by,

What will the years hold I ask, what will be the next task?
I know, for me, at the very end, I will be so happy to have had you as a friend,
As the years went by…
