Secret Keeper

Written: 11/12/06

This little green froggy, placed upon my bed
He sits here silently and remembers everything you've said
You can’s see his scars from the times he was torn
He just sits there, his eyes looking so forlorn

He’s lived such a long, long time
He was always there to make sure you were fine
No one can guess the secrets he keeps
Or how many times he helped dry the tears you weeped

He sits there holding a bright red heart
He protected you right from the start
He was the closest friend you ever had
His faint smile reminded you to be happy, not sad

No matter what life threw in your way
You could always count on him to listen to everything you’d say
He sat there content, not worrying about a thing
He knew the happiness the future would bring

He stuck with you through your young life
And helped keep you strong through all the strife
But now here he is, sitting here with me
Maybe he’s happy, but I can’t see

He has dried the tears I’ve cried
And listened to my many pleading “why’s”
Helped me through the troubles I deal with
And heal my heart so there’s something I could feel with

This is for my best friend Andrew S. No matter what life throws his way, and God knows that it has been a LOT of stuff, this little green wonder will be there... and now that I have him, I promise to treasure him as I do our friendship... My best friend, I love you! You are definately amazing beyond belief!! =]
