Sometimes in life your hurting,
and other times you're not.
Sometimes in life you need a friend,
a friend that means a lot.

In order to be that special friend,
you have to pass a test.
Don't study, just work hard,
like a birdie leaving it's nest.

This test involves your courage,
your dignity and your trust.
Don'y worry about failing,
you'll pass this test, you must.

You must be very brave,
to pass this simple test.
Never think of giving up,
you've gotta do your best.

You always take this test,
until you're finally done.
Then you become that special friend,
and you're the only one.

This is a real important job,
and it is very tough.
You must not ever give up,
even if you've had enough.

I never found this special friend,
although, I thought so many times.
We got so very close,
then stopped talking, just like mimes.

Please just listen very close,
and do not hurt me anymore.
This friendship things so special,
don't treat me like a door.

I have feeling too, you know,
and I hate it when they're jurt.
I'm sick of being treated,
like old, disguisting dirt.

So goodbye my special friend,
you never passed the test.
You are still just like a birdie,
afraid to leave it's nest.

This is a wonderful poem.

It's funny actually, you are always the one who takes this test thingy very serious, you are true and loyal and everything, but the other person doesn't always see it your way.

Keep up the good writing.

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.
