Cereal Box Vow

Cereal Box Vow
By: Tess Klingele
Little Margarite
Will you be my friend?
To have and to whisper to
To laugh and to vent
I do I do I do
need you...
So wander with me through the sunflower fields
Splash me at the fountains
but little Margarite
Don't leave me at the mountains
We'll climb 'em or we'll move 'em
Together work as one
That's what friends are for
in rain or in the sun
Take this plastic flower
as a token of my liking
know that I'll be with you
in lounging or in hiking
If we stick together
our adventures will never end
I'll even pinky promise
There
Now you may hug your friend
Oh! And little Margarite,
these devotions are just the start
I swear that I'll be with you
till adulthood do we part


*called Cereal Box Vow because I think of the "tokens of love" that little kids give each other, and they generally are plastic toys/cereal box finds. I think it is so adorable! This poem is dedicated to a friend of mine with a similar name...
