      He waits by the door
      when I come to school.
      At recess, he waits for me
      on the playground
      with a smile.
      He always tells me yes
      and I try to always tell
      him yes, too.
      Isn’t that what friends do?
      With other friends, it starts
      out well but sometimes
      it doesn’t end well.
      With him, it always ends well.
      Sometimes I think we are
      the moon holding up the
      sky, even when there are no stars.

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “In a poem, I can run without legs and be in the sunshine under the clouds. My imagination does the thinking and my hand does the writing. It’s so fun!”
