1. In kindergarten your idea
of a good friend was the person who let
you have the red crayon when
all that was left was the ugly black one.
2. In first grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who went
to the bathroom with you and
held your hand as you walked through the
scary halls.
3. In second grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who
helped you stand up to the class
bully.
4. In third grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who shared
their lunch with you when you
forgot yours on the bus.
5. In fourth grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who was
willing to switch square dancing
partners in gym so you wouldn't have
to be stuck do-si-do-ing with
Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan.
6. In fifth grade your idea
of a friend was the person who saved a
seat on the back of the bus
for you.
7. In sixth grade your idea
of a friend was the person who went up to
Nick or Susan, your new crush,
and asked them to dance with you, so
that if they said no you wouldn't
have to be embarrassed.
8. In seventh grade your idea
of a friend was the person who let you
copy the social studies homework
from the night before that you had.
9. In eighth grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who
helped you pack up your stuffed
animals and old baseball cards so
that your room would be a "high
schooler's" room, but didn't laugh at
you when you finished and broke
out into tears.
10. In ninth grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who went
to that "cool" party thrown
by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being
the only freshman there.
11. In tenth grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who
changed their schedule so you
would have someone to sit with at lunch.
12. In eleventh grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who
gave you rides in their new
car, convinced your parents that you
shouldn't be grounded, consoled
you when you broke up with Nick or
Susan, and found you a date
to the prom.
13. In twelfth grade your idea
of a good friend was the person who
helped you pick out a college,
assured you that you would get into
that college, helped you deal
with your parents who were having a
hard time adjusting to the idea
of letting you go...
14. At graduation your idea
of a good friend was the person who was
crying on the inside but managed
the biggest smile one could give as
they congratulated you.
15. The summer after twelfth
grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who helped you clean
up the bottles from that party, helped you
sneak out of the house when
you just couldn't deal with your parents,
assured you that now that you
and Nick or you and Susan were back
together, you could make it
through anything, helped you pack up for
college and just silently hugged
you as you looked through blurry
eyes at 18 years of memories
you were leaving behind, and finally on
those last days of childhood,
went out of their way to give you
reassurance that you would make
it in college as well as you had
these past 18 years, and most
importantly sent you off to college
knowing you were loved.
16. Now, your idea of a good
friend is still the person who gives you
the better of the two choices,
hold your hand when you're scared
helps you fight off those who
try to take advantage of you, thinks of
you at times when you are not
there, reminds you of what you have
forgotten, helps you put the
past behind you but understands when you
need to hold on to it a little
longer, stays with you so that you
have confidence, goes out of
their way to make time for you, helps
you clear up your mistakes,
helps you deal with pressure from others,
smiles for you when they are
sad, helps you become a better person,
and most importantly loves you!
Pass on to those friends of
the past, and those of the future...and
those you have met along the
way...
