    Default My Best Friend


    Today I found a friend
    Who knew everything I felt
    She knew my every weakness
    And the problems I've been dealt
    She understood my wonders
    And listened to my dreams
    She listened to how I felt about life and love
    And knew what it all means
    Not once did she interrupt me
    Or tell me I was wrong
    She understood what I was going through
    And promised she'd stay long
    I reached out to this friend
    To show her that i care
    To pull her close and let her know
    How much I need her there
    I went to hold her hand
    To pull her a bit nearer
    And realized that this perfect friend I found
    Was nothing but my mirror

    I thought this was going to be an 'ode to a mother' type poem, then it said not once did she interrupt me and I knew it wasn't

    Very good poem

    We have been asked to point out by the author of the poem that it is copyrighted.

    It was published in the July 1995 issue of Teen Magazine on page 23 & also in a book called "The Girls Book of Poetry" on page 153.

    The poet was Shannen Wrass and the correct title of the poem is "The Perfect Friend" and not "My Best Friend" as the title of this thread suggested originally.

    A quick look around the web via Google will let you see it has struck a chord with many others as it has been put up on lots of web sites and few videos also such as this one -

    T
    hanks to Shannen Wrass for permission to have it continue to be on our forum with correct accreditation to her.

    If posters are quoting poetry in future can they please give credit to the authors and perhaps show the original source web site, book or publication if known.

    Having read it for the first time today I can see why it appeals to a growing audience around the web.
