that's what we'll always be,
and that is why I will always
keep you close to me.
We may fight sometimes
and fuss at each other,
but we both know
that we love one another.
I can tell you anything,
and you can tell me too,
just think of all the things
you've helped me through.
We laugh more than we breathe,
we break out randomly into song,
they all know we will be
friends forever long.
No one can break us apart,
though it's fun to watch them try,
even though they know
we won't let it fly.
You're my best friend,
my strength and my core,
you're the one that keeps me grounded,
and we'll be friends forever more.
"I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",
and I will always put
"You" before "Me".

P.S. When it says "You're the one that keeps me grounded", i'm not talking about being in trouble.

Wow, that is so touching! If you actually read this out to your friend, they would never forget you and would always be your friend, I'm sure of that. It flowed beautifully and great rhyming too! I really liked the title, I knew from which phrase it came from 'I before E, except after C'. The last line is especially touching, comparing it to all the rules of spelling and mathematics. You really deserve all these trophies! =)
Good luck in the contest! =D
By the way, may I use this for my best friend?
(You know I'm joking, right? I would never copy from someone else, it's their creation. =P)

lol. thanks!

This is an amazing poem. I really liked how it flowed. Only question I have is I'm not sure what part of my family you want to be. Just let me know.
Thanks for entering. God Bless!

I will be anything you want me to be. i can be a sister, cousin, friend, goldfish [[lol!]]

That was great! I like the rhyme!
Good Luck! -
I like it
Simple but effective, I especially found the last line touching


-
Nice write. Congrats on the most recent gold trophy to go with all the other shiny cups this poem has netted.
-
A lovely tribute, a cute title, but the 2nd verse steals the attention away from everything that comes after it. It's the cute part, the clever part. Everything else is just plain vanilla unmetered poetry with two words that happen to rhyme in each verse. Thanks for entering.
-
This was just wonderful. I like your take on the prompt.
thanks for entering -
This was so beautiful; what a gorgeous dedication to your friend, and I sincerely hope that your friendship lasts as long as forever is for both of you.
This verse, was particularly touching,
""I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",
and I will always put
"You" before "Me"."
How absolutely adorable was that!! You composed it perfectly; it's like something you'd read on a greeting card - certainly any friend would love to get a "just because" card with this on it! Thanks for entering it
she's lucky to have a friend like you!

I loved this..Its cute..Thanks for entering!!..=)


-
I really like this it is very cute and I'm sure took alot of thought. I'm glad you put things in the AN so we would know what you want to be. I've read ALOT of your poety and I think I have even entered a few of your contest??? If I read you then I know your a good poet! Thanks for entering and good luck to you!

"I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",
and I will always put
"You" before "Me".
Was amazing...very creative.
-
Well done. You really captured what being friends is all about, bless you for that.
-
wow. this poem is amazing, because i can really relate to it. it takes alot for me to get emotional over a poem, but some just hit my hear strings and that's one this one did, it brought tears to my eyes. my best friend passed away nearly three years ago - we had a relationship like the one you describe here, and though we're separated for now, we'll still be friends forever! thanks for entering this poem, it brought back some good memories. (and i dont give official applause in contests, but *insert 3clappy men here*

Good poem
Your poem is really good. It reminds me of my best friends. The third part is so true. When my friends and I fight we always end up talking before the night is through. Again good job
-
This is beautiful. I loved every word of it but these lines were my fav:
We laugh more than we breathe,
we break out randomly into song,
Great write hun!
~love lae

-

""I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",

"You" before "Me"."

-
i like the ryhming but it got a little inconsistent toward the end if you know what i mean.
"I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",
and I will always put
"You" before "Me".
i love those lines

This is such a sweet, moving poem. That is how best friends do, not having to worry about impressing the other, spontenaity being the song of the day. Great write, thank you for entering the contest. Good luck.

I really like the idea that this write is based upon. The rhyme is simple, but it is good. Thank you for entering.

Awh :)
That's a very sweet poem.
Reminds me of my best friend.
In the last stanza though you wrote "you're thw onw that keeps me grounded."
I'm sure you meant 'the one'
Great write.
