• I have this lovely friend
• Only see each other now and then
• She loves me this I’ve always known
• Never needed to hear it on the phone
• Reading books is her life long passion
• As long as poems aren’t part of the distraction
• Putting words on paper is how I pass the time
• She recently told me, as a poet, I need to rhyme

 To my friend so true-This poem I wrote for you

• Tall and lean but Bobcat mean
• Long golden locks-same as picture on the box
• When youth was on our side and neither had a dime
• Raising kids was how we spent our time
• The years have passed so quickly
• I recall the year she became so sickly
• Her man was scared we’d have to place her in the grave
• So God gave her more time to cuss and misbehave
• Never needing to question her loyalty or trust
• Even when all you can do is look at her big bust
• Always straight shooten’
• never been highfalutin
• This poem, several times I did censor
• Since all the words she knows have four letters

         Before she grows any older simply said-I love her
