Friends

Heather VanValkenburg

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss,
If you are my friend, please answer me this:
Are we friends, or are we not?
You told me once, but I forgot.
So tell me now, and tell me true,
So I can say I'm here for you.
Of all the friends I've ever met,
You're the one I won't forget.
And if I die before you do,
I'll go to Heaven and wait for you,
I'll give the angels back their wings
And risk the loss of everything.
There isn't a thing I wouldn't do,
To have a friend just like you!

    I don't know what is going on with this site but this is my poem I wrote for my friend in highschool and I can prove it I put it on this site a few years ago in a so called contest and now I'm seeing it on here with someone else's name on it and my old account was taken down and I have one other poem on here that I wrote and I want other people's names take off my poems if you can't write your own stop putting your name on someone else's work
