Ann & Nan



Snapshot memories of are past
 having so much fun with the hope that it would last
 To my best friend Nan,
 a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love

 To the truest friend I ever had
 those memories by the stonewall
 Started playing together as friends
 She had blue eyes & long blonde hair

 I had brown eyes and brown hair
 roller skating on the sidewalk with the attached rollers with a key
 Went down by the brook to catch poly wags
 we both went to the same school

 Having sleep overs was a blast
 a secret passage to get to her father's soda shop
 Taking ice cream and delicious candy
 everything nice and dandy with Nancy

 Yours was are youth to be captured with a precious smile
 Cape cod trips when Nan would drive
 going to a trip to Provincetown
 watching the folks dive for money

 Big ships coming to dock
 the men would get the money in their mouths
 The island we used to go
 in a row boat along the beach

 Looking for young boys and we found them
 went to dances at the Bristol Boys Club
 Doing the latest dance craze the Huck Buck
 Boys wearing pegged pants and girls wore skirts

 To cherish those lasting memories of a time ago
 getting married
 Nan had three children
 Ann had six

 To raise and cherish the family united in love
 Today we are in are eighties
 both with medical issues
 Yet remained best friend's after all these years
