#28 My Friend
I'm 14 years old and I am NOT a regular poet. I just had no other way to tell my friend about my feelings. My friend, Becky, has changed my life. This poem is for her.
This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems - Teen Poems about Friendship
My Friend
I owe you my heart, because you've always been there And I'd do anything, to let you know I care I owe you my strength, because you've lifted me up And you were there for me, even when I messed up I'm uncertain of a lot of things, but I know this much is true I consider you my friend, and I would die for you |
