The River

The Rivers a wanderer, A nomad, a tramp,

He doesnt choose one place To set up his camp.

The Rivers a winder, Through valley and hill

He twists and he turns,

He just cannot be still.

The Rivers a hoarder, And he buries down deep

Those little treasures

That he wants to keep.

The Rivers a baby, He gurgles and hums,

And sounds like hes happily Sucking his thumbs.

The Rivers a singer, As he dances along,

The countryside echoes

The notes of his song.

The Rivers a monster Hungry and vexed,

Hes gobbled up trees And hell swallow you next

cry on or even to watch your pet for a long weekend. A friend is someone you can talk with

about a problem, someone who always there when you need, someone you can trust with your

deepest secrets and makes you laugh or even someone you can poke on Facebook.

Friends can influence you to do good things or bad things. So it is important to choose

your friends wisely. Good friends have positive characteristics like diligence, honesty, loyalty,

are caring, trustworthy and humble in nature. Good friends encourage us to do optimistic things.
