This six-letter word is unlike others
You back me up when I’m faced with issues
We play around as if sister and brother
Just remember I’m here with the tissues

I first met you in 6th grade I didn’t like you
Shy and off guard not knowing this could occur
No one; not me or even you knew
Now we are close as can be, kicking down doors

Facing every challenge that blows our way
I distanced myself; which was a mistake
But I’m glad to say we are friends to the day
Best friends we are I’m sure its not fake

This six-letter word never ends
This six letter word is you; my best friend

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
