Me

I live alone without a friend
to help me up when I fall.

When I need a shoulder to cry on
I only find my own.

--Elizabeth AnnMarie Fisher

Friends

Friends are people
who stick by you
through thick or thin
or give courage
when you have none.

Friends are people
who are about you
And involved in
Your life.

Friends are people
you can trust
and friends are
very hard to come by.

--Elizabeth AnnMarie Fisher

Happiness

Happiness is walking in the rain watching a rainbow
and talking to someone you love.

Happiness is telling I love you
and being told they love you too.

Happiness is looking up at the stars and
watching one fall.

Happiness is smelling a rose after it rains 

Happiness is splashing in puddles and washing a puppy.

Happiness is having a Mother.

--Elizabeth AnnMarie Fisher

Person

Let me be a person to know
the laughter of friends.

To cry with them when they hurt
as they do for me,

A friend will come my way... some day.

--Elizabeth AnnMarie Fisher
