Best Friend
By Bailey Boehm
You’re my very obsession
my best friend forever.
I know you always have my back,
or my feet, I should say.
Over the years of recitals and practice,
you’ve become ragged and worn.
But I don’t care.
Without you, what would I be?
Certainly not myself.
I have to face the barren fact
that someday you will grow too old,
to be there and be useful.
But I’ll keep you forever.
Forever, forever a memory,
In my heart and in my toes,
in the tutus and the tights
on my dresser to brighten my day.
Thank you, my faithful friend,
with your silk ribbons.
You’ve been wonderful to me.
Dogs
Dogs are a mans best friend
They will be there until the end
When they die,
It is as hard as any other close death
But just know they are at rest
Life is a struggle
You take it one day at a time
Conflicts will be encountered
But if you make every day as if it were your last,
You will have no regrets
Summer is coming
Each day needs to go faster
So get your tan on
Life is not easy
It has good moments and bad
Make the most of it
Life is an ocean
The waves represent troubles
They crash at some point
Santa is coming
Bake cookies and reindeer food
Go to sleep children
Lies get you nowhere
You will get called out on it
Stop making up lies
Fall is on its way
Bringing happiness and cheer
Christmas will be next
Here comes Santa Claus
Giving toys to good children
And coal to the bad
Presidential vote
Opinions are said and heard
And one side gets hurt
Vacation is fun
Usually in the summer
Tanning in the sun
Hollywood lifestyle
Glamour and money are shown
We are surrounded
True heroes protect
Risking their lives for others
Fighting for beliefs
After a bad storm
God gives us what he promised
A happy ending
