[ It Seems That As I Get Older ]
[ The More I Feel ]
[ Like I Was Run Over By A 2-Ton Boulder ]
[ But Then When I Get Home ]
[ I’m Never Thrown A Bone ]
[ I Could Have Got There Over An Hour Ago ]
[ & It Would Have Never Been Known ]
[ Talk About Such A Blow ]
[ To My Ego ]
(HONEY, I’ve BEEN HOME AN HOUR NOW!) ]
[ & She Says, (REALLY, WOW) ]
[ That Does Not Feel Good In The Least ]
[ Oh, If I Only Had A Car ]
[ I Would Definitely Leave & Head East ]
[ It Is Not Best ]
[ For Me ]
[ To Stay In The Northwest ]
[ So I’ll Just Stop By ]
[ To Say A Quick Good-Bye ]

[ ( YOU GAVE AWAY YOUR LAST PIECE OF PIZZA ) Is What You
Said ]
[ Now Being Hungry Tomorrow, Is What You Dread ]
[ It Is Not Like You Gave Away, Tomorrows Meal ]
[ But Now, You Might Know, How Hunger Will Feel ]
[ Maybe It Was, For A Good Cause ]
[ It Definitely Made The Man, That You Gave It To, Pause ]
[ He Looked Hungrier Than You’ve Ever Been ]
[ You Gave Him The Food Because Of What He Said ]
[ He Knew Someday That He Would Get A Meal Again ]
[ But He Just, Did Not Know, When ]
[ You Told Him The When, Because You Knew It Was Now ]
[ Then You Would Fend For Yourself, Somehow ]
[ You Would Go Back To Your Humble Home To See What
You Could Do ]
[ You Know With What You Have In Your Cabinets Or
Refrigerator You Could Fix Something New ]
[ But First ]
[ You Must Take Care Of Your Thirst ]
[ You Remembered That When You Were Younger ]
[ It Was Much Easier To Deal With Hunger ]
[ Back Then, You Could Always Count Of A Friend Or Two ]
[ Back Then, Like Now, Real Friends Are Few ]
[ @ Least One Friend That You Have,, Can Be Counted On To Help
You Out ]
[ This One Friend Was The One Who Gave You No Reason To
Ever Doubt ]
[ She Has Always Been There In Times Of Need ]
[ She Has Always Been There Whenever You Have Needed
Something To Eat ]
[ She Gave Like She Lived ]
[ She Has Spent Her Whole Life, Looking For Ways To Give ]
[ She Would Always Do Her Part ]
[ To Give From The Heart ]
[ She Is The One That Taught You How To Give To Those That
Have Really Needed It ]
[ & She Showed You How To Weed Through Others Piles Of
Bullshit ]
[ A Good Friend In Your Life ]
[ Beats 10 Fake Friends Holding A Knife ]
[ Always Ready To Attack ]
[ But Always & Only From The Back ]
[ That Is Why You Always Keep Your Friend Near ]
[ Either In Sight ]
[ Or By Phone, So You Can Hear ]
[ Your Friends Voice ]
[ Put A Joke In Your Ear ]
[ Only Good Folk ]
[ Are Quick With A Joke ]
[ & Contrary To Others Beliefs ]
[ She Knows What She Is Doing ]
[ When It Comes To Giving Others, Some Relief ]
[ If There Is Ever Talk Of Reimbursement ]
[ That Always Ends In A Disagreement ]
[ She Says That There Never Is An Argument To Be Made ]
[ She Never Thinks About Getting Back What She Gave ]
[ With No Regrets ]
[ She Has Said, That Is The End Of The Subject ]

[ Life Sure Has Its Ups & Downs ]
[ Filled With Some Nice People & A Few Clowns ]
[ You Never Know What You Are Getting ]
[ Some People You Want To Invest Some Time In ]
[ & Others Prove To Be So Unsettling ]
[ Just Like Opening Up A Book ]
[ You Can’t Always Judge One By It’s Cover ]
[ Until You Open It Up, To Take A Look ]
[ Before The ‘VID, Some People Really Did Hide Behind Masks ]
[ Some Do Not Like Being Asked ]
[ To Do Some Simple Tasks ]
[ But Now, People Really Do Have To Wear A Mask ]
[ & If They Do Not ]
[ That Means That They Would Probably Say Something Rude
Back ]
[ If You Were To Ask ]
[ Yes, Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates, As Forrest Gump Would
Say ]
[ People Sure Can Be Dependable Or Difficult ]
[ Depending On The Day ]
[ Some People Absolutely Hate The Beginning Of The Week ]
[ Unless They Have Had Their Share Of Coffee ]
[ You Don’t Want To Go Around Them & Expect Them To
Speak ]
[ Or As Non-Challantly That Someone Would Cough ]
[ Just Say The Wrong Thing ]
[ & They Will Bite Your Head Off ]
[ Those Types Of People Are Always On Edge ]
[ They Are The Ones That Would Surely Push You Out On
A Ledge ]
[ Some People You Can Judge The Book By Its Cover @ Times ]
[ Have You Ever Seen The Mugshots Of Some Of The Many
People, Who Commit Crimes ]
[ The Eyes Can Give Away Most ]
[ Those Are The One’s That Look As Lively As Burnt Toast ]
[ Some Of My Closest Friends Growing Up Gave Off The Worst
First Impressions ]
[ Later In Our Friendship Is When I Gave Them A Confession ]
[ Of What I First Thought ]
[ I Am Really Glad That I Did Not Make My Decision On That
Spot ]
[ Good Memories Of Those In My Past ]
[ I Would Like To Meet New People ]
[ That Will Help Me Make New Memories That Will Last ]
[ Around Any Corner There Could Be Someone Amazing To Meet ]
[ Down The Block ]
[ Or Over Two Streets ]
[ I Will Keep My Eyes & Ears Open ]
[ I I Will Wait For That Moment ]
[ To Meet & Make A New Friend … ]

Anyone Else ]
[ She Can Be Tough & Firm ]
[ She Has Reminded Me Many Many Times ]
[ That I Have ALOT To Learn ]
[ She Definitely Leads By The Example Of How
She Lives Her Life ]
[ It Took Me Many Talks With Her ]
[ For Me To See The Light ]
[ She Helped Me See That When Things Were Wrong ]
[ I Had To Stand Up ]
