Two Friends Sitting on a Swing


A brunette and a blonde
Sitting on a swing
Feet dirty from the wet lawn
Dresses soiled from the spring
 
Joy filled their vulnerable hearts
Life would never quench their love
Everyone knew they would never part
Their loving Father blessed them from above
 
Gossip never came forth from their tongues  
Secrets were always told
The air they breathed together from two lungs 
Staying together threw times of cold
 
Their separate lives would flood the scene
Gentlemen would give them flowers 
Husbands would never come between 
Children would stack like towers
 
Death was seen in the folds
A  widow would emerge 
Years made them old
But friendship would endure
