Friend Poem by SEGUN RASAKI

SPECIAL SOMEONE, THAT I CAN CONFIDE IN
SPECIAL SOMEONE, THAT GIVES A BROAD SHOULDER TO REST ON
SOMEONE THAT HELPS KEEP MY SECRETS, BOTH CLEAN AND DIRTY

SO SPECIAL THAT I SHARE MY SPECIAL MOMENTS TO TREASURE
WHAT CAN I DO WITHOUT THIS SPECIAL ONE,
IT TAKES A DISCOVERY TO FIND THIS SPECIAL ONE

THOUGH I HAVE SEVERAL OF THESE, ONLY ONE I CALL MY BEST
THE BEST FRIEND WHO IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME
I’LL ALWAYS SHARE MY DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS WITH YOU

MY BEST FRIEND, HOPE YOU WILL BE THERE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
THROUGH THE THICK AND THIN, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE THIN
I WILL FOREVER CHERISH THIS SPECIAL BEING CALLED AMIGO/AMIGA
