Analysis of Melissa



Melissa is my best friend,
She'll always be there until the end
I know this because true friendship lasts forever,
You ask if there is someone better
I say "how stupid of course not"!,
we spend many days together no matter how long and hot
Through the windy fall times,
Together we listen to the wind chimes
I dedicate this poem to Melissa,
My best friend whos nickname is lissa
