Tenea Gibson Poet ABC

Dear Friend

We were friends since day one,
always outside having fun.

As the day would past,
the fun would always last.

Until that day I had to go,
you held me tight and screamed no!

When i go older, i joined the army,
never thought it would be better for me.

I got a letter that said I had to go to war,
when I told my mom, it hurt her like a never ending sore.

you are no longer my friend, you're my brother,
but its a shame we have to fight each other.

Vicky Tsiluma September 18, 2013 at 10:33 AM Touching write this! The value of friendship is so immense that it is a shame that war and a difference of opinion has to tear it apart. You've brought out the emotions very well. Well penned Tenea!
