Best Friend

She’s a few years older
then she wants to be,
and she’s dressed in her best,
to jump in puddles.
On the way to work
she dances on the pavement
cause she’s got a song in her soul
and she really can’t help it.
She doesn’t do half the things
she wants to do,
but that’s only because
she can’t remember,
she’s too busy trying
to stay upright in the silly shoes
she bought just because.
