Poem

My Best Friend

You love me for me.

How is it possible that-

My very being, you understand, you see.

In my mind, you shall remain-

If something should ever happen to you,

My sunshine would turn to rain.

You will always be in my heart,

For that is where you belong,

That is where you were from the very start.

Thank you for being you.

Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for always being true.

I love you.

There was a little turtle.

He lived in a box.

He swam in a puddle.

He climbed on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito.

He snapped at a flea.

And he didnt catch me.
