Friends
By Catherine Oswalt

Friends make you happy day after day
They make you feel safe in every way.
They pick you up when you are down.
They’re always by your side whenever you frown.

But beware; sometimes they can turn their back on you.
They say “Go away!”
You’re hurt and confused.
You think, “What did I do wrong,
now what do I do?”

But realize you can make new friends,
a better friendship that never ends.
Understand now that friends can fight and friends can play.
You can learn from your fights and become a better friend every day.
Just because you have a disagreement with your friend
doesn’t mean your friendship should become a Forever End.
