Dedicated to Holly and Carrie


I HAVE A FRIEND© Ashley
I have a friend
Who is perfect for me
She listens to all my problems
No matter how dumb they may be
She likes herself for who she is
And never tries to change
She tells me to be myself
And that I should never change
She was shy on the phone

But she would still call
And we would talk for hours
About nothing at all
We would talk about love and life
And discuss what we wanted to be
She knew just how I felt
And how happy I could be
She listens to me patiently
But never judges what I do or say
She helped with all my problems
And never went away
I never once felt judged by her
How much that meant to me
That I could tell her all my dreams
And she would listen to me
My friend never goes and tells
What is dear to me
She keeps it all bottled up inside
And doesn't spread it like a bee
I am thankful for that friend of mine
Our friendship will never end
And she will always be there
For she is my best friend

You know it is crazy but I never thought I would ever be as close of a friend with you. I am so glad that I have had the opportunity to move here and become your friend. You, not knowing me very well when I moved here, were quick to be my friend no questions asked. You treated me like a sister and best friend. I feel so lucky to be apart of your life. You are such a great mother and friend. I know that times get stressful but you work so hard to keep everyone happy. You are so special to me. Thanks for the poem. I look forward to traveling with you to Utah and having a fun road trip. Thanks so much for letting me come with you guys. Thanks for sharing your love with me no questions asked. I love you for eternity!

Kathlene, I am about crying right now. Thanks so much. You are the one that is all those things and more! I've been feeling pretty heavy lately, so thanks for picking me up! Now that is what a true best friend does. I love you so much. I am counting down the days until I get to hug you!!!
