There once was a girl with big brown eyes,
Dreaming of a friend under sunny skies,
Her mom said, “Let’s go, I’ve got a plan,
We’ll find you a friend, little one, we can.”
They drove to the shop, bells jingled bright,
Animals chirping left and right,
Puppies barking, parrots squawked,
So many choices, they just walked and walked—
But then she saw a shimmer, a sparkle, a swish,
A tiny tail flick — a golden wish,
She pressed her face to the glass so near,
“Mom, I found my friend right here!”
Oh, Goldie and me, what a sight to see,
Just a girl and her fish, living wild and free,
We may not match, but we both believe —
Adventure’s waiting, just you and me.
She took Goldie home in a bowl so round,
Placed it high so she could look around,
Then came the picnics, the laughter, the fun,
Goldie came along in the bright warm sun.
They rode through the park on her bicycle seat,
Basket with water — Goldie’s front-row treat,
Lunch in the meadow, songs in the breeze,
Stories whispered beneath the trees.
Oh, Goldie and me, what a sight to see,
Just a girl and her fish, living wild and free,
From the park to the playground, from land to sea,
Adventure’s waiting, for Goldie and me.
People would smile as they passed her by,
“Is that a fish?” they’d laugh and sigh,
But she just grinned and said with glee,
“She’s my best friend — can’t you see?”
Goldie and me, what a sight to see,
Sharing our dreams and our cups of tea,
No bark, no wings, but we still agree,
Love’s not about how you’re meant to be.
So if you’re ever lonely and feeling blue,
Just open your heart — love will find you, too.
Could be a fish, could be a bee,
Could be someone small who sets you free.
