To the END!
A friend to me you’ll always be
Even though for months we may not see
For true friends through all times will last
While others stop and turn their backs
I know I’ve found a friend in you
Your smiles they reassure me too!
Your soft warm hugs all filled with love
Reminds me of the turtle-doves
God knows my heart, He knows the truth
I cherish every thought of you
And in return for whom you’ve been
I’ll be your friend right to the end.

Rich man, rich man
Come share your gold
With a poor man on the street who has no home
Give him bread or share a little drink
Just show him how you care
Don’t leave him all alone.
Those who are not so rich
You can help out too
Maybe you can’t help ten
But at least one or two
Share a smile with a lonely child
Keep someone warm by your side.
Poor man, poor man
Even you too can do
The simplest things and help out too
You can give a hand
And be a friend to many more than two.
Rich man, poor man
Whoever you are
You’re in this world to be a star
To help someone
To share with someone
To turn their darkness into light
So please do your part
And help heal a broken heart.

Although my first impression was to become a fiction novelist, life experiences influenced a change to become a poet. During these years at secondary school, I wrote and lost a number of poems and soon after I stopped writing. However, being an English major at
