Here's To My Friends Poem by Leslie Briggs

The greatest friends are hardest to find,
They give you advice and peace of mind.

Here's to my friend Andrea. She's my girl and she knows it. She's always been there for me and won't ever let me down. We fight sometimes but we know were the kind who are friends until we die.

Here's to my friend Christopher. He's amazing! He's like the brother I never had and nothing can change that. And though you didn't want to be here, I put you here because I love you. And if I didn't you'd get all sad and you know it.

Here's to my friend Jacquelyn. She's hilarious but a bit of a spaz. That's exactly why I love her. If she weren't here I might die.

Here's to my friend Haley. She's a fighter. She misses out only lots of things because she's allergic to almost everything. But that's okay because she's cooler than Chris.

Here's to all my friends for they've always loved me and I'll always love them. So, without them I'd be a hopeless wreck. And the same to all of you, cherish all your friendships because for some there are very few.
