Being a friend
We have something that holds us together
Something that made us both better
Something called being a friend
It makes the fun never end
And it helps me to know that when
I am down and blue
Because you’re my friend
I can count on you
We run through life without a care
Would anyone try to part us?
They wouldn’t dare
And when the time comes for me to go
I really want for you to know
That even though my life has come to and end
I will never stop being your friend
I chose this poem to choose because I think it definitely relates to the theme friendship. I think it works really well with the meaning of the poem and the meaning of friendship. I think the meaning to me is thanking for all the friends we have. The types of techniques used in this particular poem are end rhymes e.g "We have something that holds is together, Something that made us both better." The end rhymes also form rhyming couplets.

A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall
Do not expect to just take and hold
Give friendship back, it is pure gold.

I chose this poem because again it definitely relates to the theme friendship, and it is also explaining who a friend is and what a friend does to care for each other. I think the meaning to me is telling a person what a friend does for people and how they care for people and the poem is also telling them how to think of them and what not to do. I think this poem is a great example. The types of techniques used in this poem are end rhymes on the end of each sentence. e.g "They will not flee when bad times are here, Instead they will be there to lend an ear" The end rhymes also form rhyming couplets.
