For some, school may be a boring nightmare,
For me it’s a lovely dream.
Not just because of classes,
But my friends; second family, a team.
Through any weather: warm or cold,
They remain themselves; happy, curious, brave and old. My friends make me happy, smile and of laughter cry. When I'm with just one of them time seems to fly.
I do not worry about our future,
When all of us have separate ways to go.
I have a feeling that we'll always be together,
In my heart, this is what I know.
I hope that if I show them this,
It fills them with the same amount of glee,
I got when writing about them,
These friends ... my second family.
