Selfies
We look goofy and fun
As we pose for a shot,
But a photo can’t show what our friendship has brought.
We have someone to hang with
And tell secrets to.
We do nothing together when there’s nothing to do.
When I’m feeling upset
I know they’ll be there.
They’ll let me cry, hug it out, show that they care.
When one of our trio
Strives for a goal,
The rest encourage, celebrate, sometimes console.
We share everything.
Our friendship is deep.
I know that these two are friends I will keep.
We like to take selfies -
My best friends and me -
But the best part of us, a camera can’t see!
As we pose for a shot,
But a photo can’t show what our friendship has brought.
We have someone to hang with
And tell secrets to.
We do nothing together when there’s nothing to do.
When I’m feeling upset
I know they’ll be there.
They’ll let me cry, hug it out, show that they care.
When one of our trio
Strives for a goal,
The rest encourage, celebrate, sometimes console.
We share everything.
Our friendship is deep.
I know that these two are friends I will keep.
We like to take selfies -
My best friends and me -
But the best part of us, a camera can’t see!
