Poem: Dear Friend
Dear friend,
It's a cold cold world,
Do not catch a flu,
Lean on me,
If you fall, I'll be catching you.
We get tired, so rest a while and
Time to wake, I'll be tapping you.
I have your back,
To stab your back is something I would hardly do.
Let's sit and laugh and share a hot dog,
When you're blue, I'll give a warm hug,
Sit with me by the cliff lest I fall off.
You ought not to think that I could cause wrong intentionally.
This is no game; do not keep a score list.
We all err; no one's above it.
And I would love it,
If we keep no frowning faces,
If we give no fawning praises,
No need to impress, no need for studied phrases.
You know what the case is;
That it's a cold cold world,
So we need another.
Go ahead and lean on me,
Here's my shoulder.
