My Special Soup Buddy

John you are a world full of passion and music A lovable romantic, A musical song bird who sings in the choir A preacher who is knowledgeable of the Bible A warm hearted Christian soul Who is the passionate writer you all know A friendly, brotherly type with a sympathic ear One brother, two sisters and a mother who is dear Someone who has seen the hard part of life Someone who has faced adversity and came out just right Someone who I am proud to call my friend Someone who was willing to try and make a difference So song bird, my special buddy to you I salute. (For the contest I chose my buddy John Loving iii)
