A best friend is so much more,
Than someone you spend your days with.
And in this poem,
Lies lots of things,
I've never gotten to saying yet.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
These words mean that you mean a lot to me,
And that I'd never get through without you.
To call a person your "bff" is the easiest thing to do,
But very rarely can a person ever make that statement true.
In these words,
Is a thanks to you,
For everything that you do.
For, even the cow manure in my hair,
Is just a way you show you care.
As a lama sneeze,
Will make us laugh,
Wordlessly on end.
Always with you,
A dip in the pool,
Is sure to mean a wedgie.
And making flurries with the snow,
When there's no where else to go,
Is something I could only dream of doing with you.
But the most important thing,
I want to thank you for,
Is just being there for me.
A grandparent that died,
Or the loss of a pet,
We always know just where to turn.
Just like peanut butter and jelly,
And add some rotten tomatoes
(Ah, I'm allergic to potatoes!!)
Just for fun.
So, Jelly,
Thank you for all you do for me,
And for giving me right and reason,
To call you my bff.
Author notes
okay, there's a lot of inside jokes in here you might not get, like, since we were 5 i called her jelly and she called me peanutbutter. and then one time i was laying on the floor outside her bathroom, waiting for her to come out so i could attck her with shaving cream, and she threw potato's on me (don't ask me where she got potatoes from in the bathroom, lol!) and i was acting like i was dieing yelling "nono! i'm allergic to potatos!!!!!" (i'm not )
we ofen have tomato festivels, where we all throw rotten tomatoes at each other. and once at the petting zoo, she got sneezed on be a lama, or alpaca or what ever, and there was snots all in her hair. tehehe.
so this is a poem to my bff, Brittany Bender, just because you rock my world, and i'd never get threw with out you.

I think I get what you mean, but the inside jokes kinda stop the reader from getting what you are meaning.

Your right, there were quite a few inside jokes I didn't get, but that makes the poem all that more special to you and your friend. A great poem to show your appriciation towards your friend, and contraying the fact that it is rare to find a true friend who will stick it through with you untill the bitter end, through EVERYTHING. A wonderful peice!!
With love,
Trudy
