Poems for you

Friends

Friends like you are hard to
find. In a lifetime, you get only
a few. And when you find them,
you always know them by sight
and heart alone. And when you
find them, you always grow a
little bit taller in your soul.
And when you find them, you
also know that as the years
come and as the years go by...
you have been blessed
just to know them. Thus
blessed am I, and thus
lucky have I been... to
know a friend like you.

Girls who change the world

There are girls who make things better…
simply by showing up. There are girls who
make things happen. There are girls who make their way. There are girls who make a
difference. And girls who make us smile.
There are girls who do not make excuses.
Girls who cannot be replaced. There are
girls of wit and wisdom who—through
strength and courage—make it through.

There are girls who change the world
every day… girls like you.
