It's a joy ride
Full of up's and down's
Filled with fun and laughter
Even some frowns.
They come in all shapes and sizes
Short, thin, tall and fat
All's necessary having strong ties
You can look in their eyes
And tell a fake smile
Seeing all the hurt, where it lies
Not speaking a word
Seems like the best talks
You've had
You don't have secrets, kept in locks
Looking at them
Brings a smile on your face
And hope in your heart.
