Good morning Steph, today's the twentieth.

I’d give anything
for just one more
day.
To listen to you
tell me,
“Steph it’s going to
be okay.”

But that’s just it.

Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.

Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?

Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each...

So be dog wide when you say it laddie
or a knuckle sandwich is your due.
