Recipe For A Best Friend

Her heart is full of kindness
Her laugh is contagious
Her smile can light up the whole world
These are her qualities.
Her long black hair is silky
Her face is a reason to be happy
Her hands are ready to comfort if sad
These are her features.
Her self happiness lifts her right off the ground
Her courage never allows her to be afraid
Her great views on things make people wonder
This is her spirit.
All these things,
Are needed to make a best friend
Rain or shine,
They will always be there.
