Friendship Forever
Everybody knows that life,
without a friend is like death,
without a witness.

I want to present this poem,

to all of my friends.
My dear friend
When I think of the tough time
I am going through
I know having a friend like you
around me will help me make it!
You are my lovely Angel.
Dear sweetheart,
You have shown me how,
to be tough.
You have taught me,
when to say No.
You are my doctor,
When I am sad.
You are my everything!
Thanks for being a caring friend.
My friend.
Do you know?
That friendship
divides,
our sorrow,
multiplies,
our joy

An Unforgetable Day
I remember this unforgettable day which took place about five years ago. My
grandmother wanted to bring my sister and I to town after we had shopped at a sundry
shop near home. I did not want to join them so I suggested that I would walk home on my
own. I was so convincing that I could get home easily and my grandmother agreed.
So my grandmother and my sister left on a trishaw for town while I walked home.
After walking for about ten minutes, I began to feel that the way home seemed rather
long and endless. I looked out for a familiar sign or spot but there was none. It was then I
realized that I was lost!
I continued walking for hours and it was way past noon when I decided to rest under
a tree. A passing trishaw man stopped to talk to me. After I told him my story, he offered
to send me home. We soon reached the residential area where I lived but I was horrified
to find that I could not recognize my own house. All the houses looked the same!
Just when the trishaw man was beginning to lose his patience with me, I heard
someone called out my name. it was my father. He was on his way out to make a report at
the local police station. My family discovered that I was missing when my grandmother
and sister came back from town. My parents thought that I was with them all the while!
On that day, I was lost for seven and a half hours. It was a day that I will never forget
because I dare not imagine what would have happened to me if I had not got home.

The Benefits of Having Friends

We meet many people everyday. Many people walk in and out of our life. Some of
them stay a little bit longer, but some walked away and left footprints in our hearts.
Everybody have friends and best friends. Besides our parents, friend is the people who
we spend most of our time with. Having friends is good for us. They are always be there
for us when we need them the most.
Good friends are always be there for us when we need them. Good friends should not
give up on us. They accept us for who we are. Good friends should be loyal and
trustworthy. We share each others secret and we should not betray our friends. In certain
times, we are burdened with responsibilities and life seems to be an endless uphill
struggle, friend is the one to pick up the pieces and encourages us to move on. Friend is
also the one who will be there to lend us a shoulder to cry on when we face difficult times
in our life.
Friends can be our motivators. They will encourage us when we are feeling down.
For example, when we failed in our examination, they will motivate us to do our best in
the next exam. Friendship is not about are. We can be friend with people who are younger
or older than us. The friends who are older than us usually have many experiences in life
and they can be our mentor or become an example for us to learn. Furthermore, they can
give us moral support to do positive things in our daily life.
To sum up, true friendship is demanding. It requires high level of trust, support and
understanding. We must also display high degree of loyalty as a sign of respect to our
friends in life so that the friendships that we have can be everlasting. However, one
should never expect too much from a friend, unless they are willing to be good in return.

I Wish You Were Here, Dad....

Finally, the prince and the princess lived happily ever after in the castle. I still
remember that was the last sentence of the story that my dad told me before I went to bed.
Every night before I went to bed, dad always lay at my side and told me different stories.
I really miss that moment. Now, it is totally different without my father by my side. Dad?
I do not even know where he is now. Where are you? Am I too naughty until you leave
me alone without you by my side? How could you leave me alone in this cruel world? Do
you know that I suffered a lot without you by my side? Well, I hate you because you left
me without saying goodbye. I have not seen my father for seventeen years already. Life is
so hard without him.
Do I love my father? Yes, of course I love him. I spent all my childhood with him
and we shared many sweet memories together. When I was four years old, my dad always
brought me to the park and taught me to ride bicycle. As a girl, I was always taught by
him to behave like a good girl. Even though my father did not know about fashion, he
was the one who always taught me about fashion during my childhood. Everytime we
went outing together, he would help me to choose the dress that made me look beautiful
and elegant. He was also always struggling to make me dress like a model! He was also
my personal assistant to help me tie up my hair, match my dress with suitable shoes,
made sure I eat my meals and so on. There were times he would make me feel awkward
and bored with the things that he had done.
As a father, he used to cheer me up all the time. When I was five years old, he was
the person to send me to the kindergarten. I felt really mad at my father for sending me
there and I always asked him the same question: Why should I go to the kindergarten?
He told me that I will have many friends in the kindergarten and I will learn something
interesting in my life. When I looked into his eyes, I could see that he wanted me to have
a bright future. He used to hold my hand on our way to the kindergarten and I used to
keep quiet along the way. At times, he would smile at me and make me feel loving and
comfortable. I felt very lucky to have such father. However, his smile is gone now and
nowhere to be seen again.

I still remember there was one singing competition that I took part in the
kindergarten and I was feeling so nervous that time. But my father were there to calm me
down. He said to me: Raysha, enjoy every part of the song and dont worry too much. I
am here for you! I sat on his lap and hugged him. After that, I enjoyed myself on the
stage and sang very well. When the chairman announced that I was the winner of the
singing competition, all the audiences in the hall clapped their hands and I saw my father
dropped his tears in front of me. He must be really proud of me! I ran towards him and
hugged him in front of the crowd. I can felt the love that he had for me, his precious
daughter.
Years had gone by, I had been growing up and we were not talking to each other
frequently anymore. It was not because something bad had happened between us, but it
was because I was too busy with my homework and other school activities in my
secondary school. As a teenager, I was so in love and easily influenced by the things that
happened around me. I spent most of my time with my friends and I could see my father
felt rather lonely. I knew he wanted me to treat him like the way I did during childhood
but it was too late. He is gone forever!
I know that I will not see him again. I wish he was here with me now so that I can tell
him he is the greatest father in the world, and my everything. If only I could turn back
time, I wanted to say sorry to him. But I couldnt. Thanks dad, I love you! Rest in
peace
