Michael Poem by maria goodison

We became friends such a long time ago and still remain friends to this day.
Life had giving us ups and downs but we still give a phone call every now and then.
I don't live in the same town as you but how I find my self missing you every now and again.
They say getting older and wise just a part of life but I smile at the words and know I can still be a child around you.
We still meet up and have a giggle, still dare each other to do the things that we should not do.
Still able to calm each other or raise the barn, to stand and say this is not right or just have a water bomb fight.
How I have not just found a friend in you but something more like a twin brother.
