some people say i’m a nut
that my shell is too hard
that i must have something
easier to chew inside me
but i’m blocking them out
with all of my loose screws
making up stuff and fluff
friends say i’m wonderful
that we nourish each other
that our flavor of friendship
stays delicious even after time
even if we crack heads
from time to time
A smile, a true one
A story of love, honesty and respect
A job hard-worked
A healthy body to carry
A move to move again
A truck to haul away
A friendly trio to make time fly
A place to stay a while
A moment to appreciate
A reflection of growth and maturity
A few seconds of silliness
A friends happiness is the very best
she made me find myself.
she cracked me out of my shell
so i could experience things better.
she never fails to listen,
never fails to make me laugh
and never fails to share with me.
she always makes me comfortable.
she can trust that i’m always there.
she is one of the best things to me.
she’s the one i’ll never let go of
Two small birds
Sit on a tree
One sings, one stays
The song, some song
Played while still
Wings down, beak up
Chirps turns to trills
One song sung by
A small bird who sits
In a tree
Her friend hears
And stays to wait
for its end
Honesty is like your very best friend.
Honesty allows you to be your true self.
When honesty hurts you, it’s for your own good.
Honesty gives everything to you straight up, as is…
–offering the truth even when lies are preferable.
Honesty doesn’t need to ask for forgiveness.
Time or distance doesn’t matter to true honesty.
Honesty never hides something from you.
Honesty will never take you down a notch
–for its own personal gain.
Fairness is honesty’s middle name.
And lastly, everything that’s honest is genuine.
Now that’s your very best friend.
