Bubbles fill my nostrils,
Eyes water, I choke,
Collapse with hilarity

Bare feet, immersed into
the moist soil of the Earth

hair a shrivelled mess,
coarse from the rainfall

though I care not, neither do you,
for you see through the window,
peep into my soul

beyond the painted face,
you see the real me
young, naïve and carefree


You are a cocktail, a real corker!
you pop, fizz and sparkle

putting a smile on my face,
you brighten up my day

Oh you are a revelation!
A celebration… of life, of
awesomeness

I raise my mug, full, fizzing at
the brim,
I toast to you my dearest,
my friend, sister, my saviour


for all the fun and folly,
for all the happiness and sorrow

may we enjoy many moments
like this

where our friendship continues
to blossom… until eternity
