To Carley

I have always really enjoyed writing poetry, even though I'm not the most talented person when it comes to the...putting words together and them sounding good...thing.

I was able to scrape together a couple poems that I wrote to my dear darling best friend Carley and I figured that I would share them with all of you :)

To the Eternities

It still amazes me,

This friendship that we've made

All the good times and bad

Those memories won't soon fade

I went from Mckenzie to Emma

And much to my surprise

You went from just a friend

To the best one, in my eyes

You help me when I need a laugh

You help me when I fall

I know that when my day's been bad

I only have to call

Sure, we've had our times

When the hurt could not be masked,

And holding us together

Was no simple task

But we made it through

And we'll make it to the end,

Even to the eternities

As each other's best friend

The part that says, "I went from Mckenzie to Emma" refers to the fact that one of the first things she ever said to me was, "You look like a Mckenzie to me. Can I call you Mckenzie?" She gets embarrassed by that now, but I still think it's funny.

My Best Friend

You're not perfect

There are many mistakes you bear

But you're my best friend

So I don't care

You say silly things

And often show the color of your hair

But you're my best friend,

So I don't care

You and I

We make the perfect pair

This thing that we have

It's got to be rare

And when you're in the nursing home

Racing up and down the halls

You can bet I'll be there

Helping if you fall.

I was going to be all creative and try to write another...but I don't think I could :( I wouldn't be able to write it down effectively. 

I seriously love this girl!
