It’s a funny thing

Friendship

And the way that it grows

Out of thin air and coffee cups

And saying hello

And DnD games

Furry puppies and pizza

Your mum’s cookies with milk

Hospital stories

It’s dust motes and seeing your backyard

Transform

The sounds of soccer games over the fence

Your brother eats at least 50% of the snacks

That I bring

And even when I’m eaten by a dinosaur

Or bidding farewell to Captain Steve Jobs

(May He Rest In Peace)

Your roaring laugh makes me smile

It’s a funny thing, Leo

Friendship

I’m very glad of the joy you bring
