MY FRIEND
 

Friends are special loving people,
That is probably why they're called friends.
I know lots of friends, and lots of friendly people,
But you are special out of all my friends.
 
 

Camp is where I first met you,
You were so hyper and wild.
Then again at the Marina I saw you,
I can't forget your friendly smile.
 
 

In band we were together,
Both sharing an interest in music.
And though it seemed forever,
We both got ourselves through it.
 
 

If you think about it,
We have been through lots together,
We couldn't do it alone.
And hey, if we didn't know each other,
Then why would we need a phone?
 
 

We both are now in 4th,
Raising Princess and Babe.
Now what rhymes with 4th?
A what rhymes with Babe?
 
 

We have been through lots in our lives,
Through all our pain and fears.
My how the time flies,
My eyes will now be full of tears.
 
 

I know I haven't been a pleasant friend,
And I know I'm rather grumpy.
But I'm glad we're best friends,
Because it's better than being lumpy.
 
 

Now 9th grade is drawing near,
That awful day I fear,
But what is there to fear?
 Because I know you will still be here.
 
 

Here in my heart is where you will stay,
Deep down inside, unable to escape.
Because all I want is for you to say,
The sweet words any friends can say.
 
 

But as we say goodbye,
As we continue on our way.
There will definitely be a tear in my eye,
For I don't want to say goodbye.
 
 

I know I'll still see you,
And I know I won't forget you.
And I definitely won't forget to call you
Because I will love and miss you.
 
 

Angela you are a great friend
And I will always love you.
