Student Web Activity Sample Poem

Different Friends for Different Times

When I want to talk about life
It's ups and downs
And trials and tribulations
I call Cheryl

When I feel the need to laugh
I can count on David
To share a story
Or tell a joke or two

If I want a cup of tea
I meet up with Sheila
For comforting conversation
At our favorite coffee shop

When I need a boost
I talk to Cindy
Who cheers me up
And gives me good advice

I am lucky because
I have lots of people to turn to
When different times
Call for different friends
