The Real Friendship

here is a place for you and me a

special place for only us two where

we share a special bond that no one can see

they say that true friendship is rare

an adage I believe to be true

you are the best gift I have ever got

I am so lucky to have met you

when you're feeling blue I'll

be there for you when I'm

deeply hurt you'll be there for me

Best Friend

Eriko is funny
she is kind, cuddly
small like a bunny
so cute it makes you
go blind when I 
see her it is always
too sunny, I don't
see her a lot these days
but when we do meet
we plot, make future
plans roaming about town
in our mini-vans
