You're not perfect <br />You make mistakes <br />You judge and steotype others <br />---------------------- <br />When you went to school that day <br />You saw the new girl <br />You try and be tough so you make fun of her <br />Soon everyone is, and she doesn't have any friends <br />You start to feel bad. <br /> <br />Next week you see her alone <br />You walk up to her everyone is staring at you <br />She speaks to you 'If you're going to make fun of me today can you do it later? everyone is staring.' <br /> <br />You reach out you hand, and help her up <br />' Hi, I was wondering if you wanted to be my best friend? I am sorry about what I said. I just wanted to fit, but I saw it hurt your feelings.' <br />You say louldy so everyone watching can hear. <br /> <br />Everyones jaws dropped. <br />She stands up and you start walking with her. <br />Your other friends leave you <br />You don't care, now you have a friend. <br />A real friend.<br /><br />Suzy Paxman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-real-friend-11/
