I Can Tell That We Are Gonna be Friends

My wife arranged to take photos with all of my son's friends to commemorate the end of elementary school. I was hesitant, but I went along with it because I have fond memories of that time in my life. I know my son won't appreciate these pictures for a bit, but when you get to be my age reflection becomes a hobby. Cheers to milestones and the people you go through them with.

"Fall is here, hear the yell

back to school, ring the bell

brand new shoes, walking blues

climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee

through the park and by the tree

we will rest upon the ground

and look at all the bugs we found

safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else

we walked to school all by ourselves

there's dirt on our uniforms

from chasing all the ants and worms

we clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell

nouns, and books, and show and tell

playtime we will throw the ball

back to class, through the hall

teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time pass

we don't notice anything

we sit side by side in every class

teacher thinks that I sound funny

but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed

when silly thoughts go through my head

about the bugs and alphabet

and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet

that you and I will walk together again

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends."
