A True Best Friend

A monument to my three wonderful best friends to stand in internet glory.

Everyone's got a different idea
Of what they ought to be.
But take a moment and I'll show you
What a best friend is to me.
Starting with the oldest one
I've known since second grade.
My heart was broken right in two
When first she moved away.
But then years later,
Found again!
This dear one whose kindness
Knows no end.
I missed you
Whether near or far.
For you there'll always
Be a place in my heart.
As close to perfect as I've ever known
Far too good for me in every way,
My dear best friend, you show your worth
In your attentions everyday.
But on to best friend number two,
It started in the most simple of things.
But time wore on and now she's got
My never-dying loyalty.
So talented in so many ways
So many things I can't explain.
For all your attempts show me why
From anime I must refrain.
Bamboozling to the most extreme,
Your not-logic has gotten me.
(I have to say again!)
But still to be or not to be!
I still don't know!
What sets me free?
This girl, my second family?
Absolutely, yes indeed!
Now finally the last
But certainly not the least,
This precious friend
Cannot be beat!
By crazy wonderful bubbling you
I'm encouraged to do what I never do.
To step out of my comfort zone,
Into my own social unknown.
This sister that I never had
Electric joyful beautiful one!
Your talent has
Only just begun!
So there it is
My precious ones.
But I feel like I've only just begun
To show why they deserve my love.
And altogether wholly unique,
It was God alone
Who could have
Brought them to me.
