She is one of little words
But when she speaks, she says so much

Her mind is deep, like her friendship
Her positive words
become my kinship

When I don't know what to say
I wonder, and maybe it'll take a day
But the confusion leaves
When her words come my way.

Words and phrases, thought provoking
The sarcasm, the way she keeps joking
The wiser of most her age
She makes me feel a clown on her stage...

When I feel crazy and lost, her map she will lend
When I'm at everyone elses end
She'd talk to me and call me friend.

Fascinating poem!  This really conveys something quite deep.  I especially like your choice of wording at the end, specifically your use of "she'd" as though all that is described in the poem is in the past tense.  Was this intentional?

Yes, some of it was in the past. I did do it intentionally.

If I ignore the internal rhyme, this poem rocks. ^_^  It's actually one of the cuter dedication poems that I've seen as of late... when I saw the title, I had no idea it was a dedication poem, but thought it would be one of those "looking in the mirror" poems.  But, when it turned out to be a dedication of some sort, it really took on a different light and read much more fluidly and easily. ^_^

Really pretty dedication, with a touch of softness that these poems generally should contain. ^_^  The internal rhyme was bothersome, but not so bad that it destroyed the flow... I'd suggest that you cut down on the rhyme a little for your style; don't abandon it entirely, but cut down a little on it. ^_^  Use words which feel better than they read, ne? ^_^v  Excellent read.  Thanks!
