(dedicated to tara rivieccio albidrez)
countless miles in between… but you were always there for me… inspirational, a note of sarcasm in the key of friendship… priceless times, memories should be recorded… never erased from my mind… i stood in the presence of frozen time… we picked right up again without missing a beat… back in the day roaming the sheepshead bay streets… out on patrol, on foot or bike… so much difference, yet so much alike… i couldn’t ask for a better friend to come along… and our childhood memories help to keep my humor strong… i wonder if you’ll ever realize how much i appreciate you… just know all these words i speak are of the absolute truth… a taurus with a strong attitude… and i send this out to you with complete gratitude… a friendship that shall outlast the sun… and in our hearts we’ll be forever young… just a couple of naïve kids sitting on a porch… dancing and singing, i will forever carry this brightly lit torch… you’re my friend and know i’ll forever love you… honest, compassionate and true…..
