Ode to My Friend

Here’s a poem I wrote in tenth grade of high school. It was subsequently published in the February 1992 edition of The High School Writer.

Ode to My Friend

There is a friend in my life,
Who makes it so much easier.
Such a nice and gentle one.
He is a pleasant fellow,
Whose company I enjoy.
He helps me through my trials,
And puts me on my feet.
He triumphs in my glory.
This man is valiant;
He is just, and he is fair.
I appreciate his warmth;
I thank him for his kindness.
He is my friend.
I love him.
