The Power Of
Friendship.
It’s not a word, it’s a feeling.
Friendship.
It’s not a thing, it’s the thing,
The thing that keeps us going in life.
Friendship is a way of life.
It’s a way for you to get things off your chest,
It’s a way to laugh until you can’t breathe,
It’s a way to feel comfortable about being yourself,
It’s a way to feel motivated but it’s also a way to feel hurt.
Friendship isn’t always perfect, but it’s always going to be there.
ups
Friendship is going to have its and
downs,
That's what makes it special.
Even when you hate them, you love them,
Even when you tell them to leave, you want them to stay,
Even when you’re so mad that you can’t breathe, you breathe anyway because they are your person.
The person you can talk to about anything,
The person you can lean on when something isn’t going your way,
Your person.
Friendship has the power to make you the happiest person in the world,
Because they are your number one person in the world.
It’s important to love yourself,
It's even more important to like yourself
I want to like the person I am becoming,
The person that holds the door open for people,
The person that smiles when someone walks by,
The person that puts others before themselves,
The person that contently listens to someone when they are talking.
I want to love everything about myself,
I also want to like everything about myself.
It’s easy to have self-love,
But you don’t always think about if you like yourself,
If you like how you get mad so easily,
If you like how the littlest thing can get you upset,
If you like the person you are,
That’s hard to do.
The power of liking yourself is more powerful than anything in the world.
Family.
It’s always there, even if you don’t want it to be.
Family,
The key that unlocks the door to starting your own life.
Your mom,
The person that teaches you how to love.
Your dad,
The person that teaches you how to get your hands dirty.
Your brother,
The person that teaches you how to be strong.
Your sister,
The person that teaches you to care about others before yourself.
Your grandma,
The person who teaches you how to cook.
Your grandpa,
The person who teaches you there is more to life than what’s on the outside.
Your cousin,
The person who teaches you how to be challenged.
Your dog,
The thing that teaches you affection.
You may not always think that you love your family,
But they will always love you.
You may not think you need your family,
But they will always need you.
The power of having a loving family is the greatest gift anyone could receive.
