About the Poem

I grew up as an only child but I had a cousin that was very, very close. This poem is about the wonderful friend I found in my cousin.

Friend

by Robson Grant

I know you're still out there
Living life with your kind of flair
Standing with your face to the sun
Picturing your time to come

Many clouds have passed by
Since we stood under the same sky
Taking in the summer sights
Howling at the city lights

I still remember when we were young
Pulling pranks just for fun
Summer vacations were such a blast
The kind of memories that will always last

Growing up the future seemed like such a sure thing
Thought we knew what it would bring
True love, a family, a house in the hills
Work hard, play hard and don't sweat the bills

Never guessed things would change so much
Thought our friends would never loose touch
The stars seemed so clear from our domain
I sure could handle some of those good times again

Even if our dreams still seem far away
Our friendship will be right here to stay
Until we are both gone
The road between us will never be too long

This poem truly brought out the meaning of a childhood friend.

Heather

My bestfriends and I always thought as kids we'd always be together. And yes, Life holds tons of different pathes and which we all took different ones. I became a mother at 16 years old & then had three more kids then in 2000 got married, one went to college then started a family & got married, the other one gat married & travels all the time. We talk once in a while, but not like we use too.

The reason I was looking for a friendship poem is because my best friend is moving to California after our senior year and I needed some words to tell her how I feel. This was the perfect poem-thank you.
