Well readers, someone very special to me is about to turn 40 somewhere in the next 24 – 48 hours. This person is a lot of things in my life, and is often my muse. This poem post is for you Schmoo.
Sometimes you’re my child,
As I spoil you with gifts,
Sometimes you’re my counsellor,
When I’m plagued with “What If’s?”
Sometimes your my mother,
Pulling me back in line,
Sometimes you’re my teacher,
New life lessons all the time.
Sometimes you’re my lightness,
When my world feels heavy and dark,
Sometimes you’re my jester,
When I’ve lost my spark.
Sometimes you’re my cheerleader,
Encouraging me along,
Sometimes you’re the only place,
Where I feel like I belong.
Sometimes you’re my enemy,
As harsh words fly back and forth,
Sometimes you’re my teammate
As together we’re quite the force.
Sometimes you’re my lover,
Because who doesn’t like to flirt,
Sometimes you’re the main meal,
Although we both prefer dessert.
Sometimes you’re my handyman,
Rocking up with all your tools,
Sometimes you’re my clown,
As we roll around like fools.
Sometimes you’re my date,
We always have such fun,
Sometimes you’re my punching bag,
When I need to hurt someone.
Sometimes you’re my caretaker,
When I am feeling down,
Sometimes you’re my nanny,
When I am out of town.
Sometimes you’re my cleaner,
Because I’m such a mess,
Sometimes you’re my pawn,
In life’s game of chess.
Sometimes you’re my pet,
Providing love and support,
Sometimes you’re my energy,
When I’m running short.
Sometimes you’re my distraction,
When life is all too much,
Sometimes you’re my drug,
When I need a crutch.
Sometimes you’re my muse,
When I’m feeling uninspired,
Sometimes you’re my downer,
When I’m feeling far too wired.
Sometimes you’re my water,
Sustaining all my life,
Sometimes we’re so close,
We call each other wife.
Sometimes you’re my map,
When I’m feeling lost,
Sometimes you’re my director,
When I need a boss.
Sometimes you’re my blanket,
When I’m feeling cold.
Sometimes you’re my sister,
When I need a hand to hold.
Sometimes you’re my tissue,
When I just need to cry,
Sometimes you’re my motivator,
Willing me to try.
Sometimes you’re my love,
When it’s got no place to go,
Sometimes you’re my yes,
When you’d much rather be a no.
Sometimes you’re my safety net,
When I’m feeling scared,
Sometimes you’re my mirror,
When my soul is bared.
Sometimes you’re my diary,
All my secrets shared,
Sometimes you’re my escape,
When I’m pulling out my hair.
Sometimes you’re my dancefloor,
When I want to bust a move,
Sometimes you’re my jumpstart,
When I’ve lost my groove.
Sometimes you’re my youth,
When I’m feeling naughty,
Sometimes you’re my oldest friend,
Especially now you’re 40!
Sometimes you’re my everything,
Other times you’re not.
Every time you are my friend,
The best one that I’ve got!
Thank you for your friendship
I hope it never ends,
I know I am your sometimes too,
Because we are best friends.
Happy Freaking 40th, my Fabulous Fantastic Friend. I know I am very fortunate to call you a friend. Every. Single. Time.
❤ Love,
Your Best Friend ForNever
