'Pinky Promise' Poem by Linda Winchell

Do you remember our pinky promises?
We made when my little finger crossed with yours?
We promised to always be there when needed
With never a need of words to be heard.

To be the best friends we could be
Always and forever to be yours.
To stand beside each other through thick and thin
Fighting the fires burn with our little pinky courage.

Pinky promises I know wouldn't stand up in court
But it was a legal binding contract back then for you and me.
Two friends linked together for just that moment in time
Promising we'd both be the best that we could be.

Two little pinkies wrapped and bound together
Making promises probably they never knew they'd ever keep.
But if for only that childhood moment in time
Two little pinkies crossed as children did meet.
