Friends for Life

"Everyone has a soul,  you should treat it like
a good friend you know."

Mika and Milo were good friends that met
for the first time in an Asian market.
She was carefully matching the amount
she had in her pocket to the amount
she could spend in the market.
"Oh, my goodness "that squid looks delicious"
she said with each item she was going to buy;
lets see, that brings my total to $22.50.
I musn't forget the rice, with a little curry
and the beans at home, rice will taste nice.
Oh, who's that looking at me from across the room?
He's starring at me, he tripped on a broom.
Why am I laughing, he's cute and he's funny
and to be happy and laugh is good for my soul.
This guy is so funny, he could be my honey.
Just then he slides over and introduces himself;
"Hello, my name is Miko, and you look
like a girl I'd be happy to know."
They went out to dinner that very Sunday night,
Miko and Milo might be friends for life...

"one never knows does one?" Anything can happen when you wear a smile. Worrying about what to wear? Throw on a pair of jeans and go out smiling with a twinkle in your eye. Loved the story. Jo
