This is a poem by my daughter age 13.
Friends Eternal. by Olivia English © 2008.
You are a true friend,
That I want to know.
Our love for each other,
Has helped us to grow.
We have been through some tough times,
But we've made it through,
The only friend I ever trusted was you.
You helped me through anger,
You've chased away my fears.
You held me through sadness,
And wiped away my tears.
You stayed by my side,
When the world turned away.
You helped me see joy,
When all the skies were grey.
You were the rainbow,
At the end of the storm.
You encouraged my differences,
Not to conform.
You held my hand,
When you knew we would fall.
Every heartache ...
You saw me through it all.
I'm not sure,
I'm always the best friend to you.
I know I'm not perfect,
But this much is true.
When life gets you down,
And there is nowhere to turn.
I'll help you through and,
I'll share your concern.
I'll try my best,
To return every favour,
When you feel you can't cope ...
I'll be your lifesaver.
Whether you sink or swim,
Doesn't matter at all,
Just know that I'll be there ....
Whenever you call.
So to all of you I say....
Look after your friends,
Each .......
And everyday
