Friendship is cool,
but don't overrule.
If we get in a fight,
we can work it out,
and we'll be friends, there's no doubt.
If you are sad, scared, unhappy or mad,
just come to me,
not Mom or Dad.
On you're birthday,
I will buy you a teddy bear.
and that's a gift for you,
to show that I am there.
So want to be my friend???
Because I promise I will be friends
until the very, very end.
(Editorial commentary: Friendship is a great topic for a poem, and I bet Erica would make a great friend! She writes interesting stories too.)
