A Valentine to My Friends

Although it might not really fit into the period of time we find ourselves in at the moment, since it's not exactly Valentine, it reminded me a lot of my girlfriends and I. It was written by the 18-year-old Rachel Punches and became a very inspiring peom for me! I absolutly love it!

It's the season of love

(Like we could forget).

Romance is in the air,

And it's makin us sick.

Couples are holding hands,

And all through the day,

We walk down the halls

And have to witness PDA.

(public display of affection)

Then those same girls

Will go home at night

And thank God above

For the man in their life.

But when it comes down to it

We've got something they don't-

Friends who will be there

When a boyfriend won't.

Friends who will be with you

There through it all.

When you're feeling little

They make you feel tall.

Friends understand

When you want to stay home.

No, you're not mad...

You just need time alone.

When you're eating with friends,

You can just dig right in.

There's no guys around...

So who's trying to stay thin?

Now and then there's an urge

TO someday meet a guy

Who'll put a smile on your face

And spark in your eye.

And "someday" will happen,

But until that time come

Take advantage of now

And simply have fun.

So while other girls pray

For a love that is true,

When I pray at night

I thank God for you.

I love you guys and hope for our friendship to last forever!! (K)
