I
got to know you/me very well
I
played with you/me in days of old
You
were my shadow!
You
took my hand and led me
You
ever were my friend
You
were mine and then I left you
To
find another to keep me company
I’m
sorry that I left you there
Along
that deeply rutted road
The
miry way my little legs had trod
Together
we climbed that old almond tree!
We
played in and loved those swaying limbs
The
leaves they waved and caressed
They
were my friends and touched and soothed
They
greeted me with summer days
Together
we did spend in imagined bliss
Alone
and yet not so; we laughed!
My
precious youth with you
Together
we’d while away the hours of sunshine
Summer
holidays were best!
We
swam and frisked in great Murray
Or Lake Bonney
Though
we grew cold we would not leave
Our
lips turned blue with cold
Yet
still we stayed!
No
amount of teeth-chattering would convince us
To
give up our stronghold!
