My Beloved Friend —- Poem by Natasa To

You're clever enough to light up a room,
And funny enough to chase away gloom.
With every wild joke and ridiculous grin,
You somehow make ordinary moments begin.

You've got a sharp mind and a heart just as bright,
The kind of good soul that makes everything right.
Through laughter and chaos, through joy and through tears,
You've been one of my favorite people for years.

So here's to the friendship, the memories we've made,
The jokes that have left us completely betrayed—
By laughter, by nonsense, by stories untold,
And moments I hope we'll keep making as we grow old.

You're brilliant, you're hilarious, wonderfully you,
And honestly, life feels much better with you.
If friendship were treasure, I'd know from the start:
I somehow got rich just by finding your heart.
