My Best Friend Poem by James Casey

My Best Friend

So many times I think of you
So many feelings are felt for you
I feel as though when you are around
My life with you is usually on solid ground

No bad feelings are ever keep me bound
You always lift me up when I am down,
Advice that's given, is usually taken.
Sometimes, though you leave me shaken

My life is better having known you,
You make me laugh, with the things you do
You make me cry, you listen to me
And show me things that I don't see

When we talk we relate to each other
Your less like a son, more like a brother
You are there to show me you care
If I call you're always there

You can do the things that make me wonder
What my life would be like without our times
Like when we were hunting in the pines
Or fishing along those rocky coastlines

Thank you Shawn, my first born son
You'll always be, my number one
Just like when you are there for me
Your what my best friend always should be
