Friendship Poem

We have known each other’s faces ever since we were little kids

But so ironic to know that I started to love you just last two thousand and six

Was it I who first smiled?

Or was it you who began the friendship's first mile?

I can’t remember well how everything between us started

But spending many good, good days with you, how can I just forget?

I treasured those moments with you,

Keeping them in my heart always 5 years new.

Though we’re so different in many things

But then so alike in much more ways

You were the funny and friendly girl,

I was the shy and silent type

But whenever were together,

Time and space have lost their place,

‘Cause we’re the craziest and I like it that way best.

We sing - you sing way better (you even dance horribly)

We play the piano, you play the flute

We play the guitar, I teach you how

(And now you’re even much better)

We plant pechay, we sell them ‘till heaven knows where and when

We ride the bike, and strolled more until rain pours

We joke, you laugh at any joke

We laugh together, you laugh much more

We’re silent - I hate it when you’re silent

I cry - you’re there for me

We drink heavily, Oh how I miss salabat dearly.

I have loved, you kept it a secret

And when love needs to end, you spilled the restricted

But I just want you to know: I began to appreciate you more for that,

You’re just a true friend.

We studied the Bible and read it together

We pray and sing much more as sisters.

Through the sunny and gloomy days of life,

I know the Heavenly Father has always been your Guide.

And now that you’re nineteen, and don’t forget to soon be twenty,

I pray to Him that He continue blessing you in every aspect, abundantly.

May He continue to use you as an instrument that plays wonderfully

Of songs and praises of His love and grace to everybody.

Study well and pray more

Dream big things, Do your best

Love more, Worry less

And depend to God your all.

I hope we see each other soon.

Happy, happy Birthday Grace!

I miss you and I love you! J
