Bam

Head and shoulders above the rest,
  if you don't know, you are the best.
Character and consideration,
  you're from another generation.

I'm so glad I have a friend like you.
You make me smile when I'm blue.
And you even sing. What a thing!
Who knew? There is no one like you.

So here I am in a jam,
  but here you come and
  BAM!
The bad guys see you and scram.

So here's a poem just for you.
Put it in an empty shoe,
  and take it out on a rainy day.
I hope it makes the storm go away.

Shed poetry is the best! Haha. It's so good to have great friends. You know there is a rhyme contest going on, you should think about entering it.
