This one is different. Rick is his name, and he is a brilliant writer. We wrote this together, and I want to honor him. He is the real reason why I write. Rick, whatever happen, “We are friends to the end.”

Friends 'til the End
By Amanda D. Petty & Richard Cruse

We've been friends since 1997,
My friend, how time slips through our hands.
Reminiscing the youth years, we had;
School dances, you held me so tight, holding my hands, it felt so right.
Joking around about getting old, we had it made,

So it's time for this story to be told.

High school hits, chatting about our classes, the teachers, the lunches, new friends,
I remember, cherishing every minute, ‘cause I know it wasn't gonna last forever,
And just like now, we were there for each other back then,

So no matter what, we are friends 'til the end.

Adult hood arrives, aches and old ages, we feel.
We moved away, we miss each other.
We knew our friendship would still be real.
Growing up, a new chapter of friendship for one another.

Now here we are in our older years,
Talking about our youth, jobs, stress, and fears,
Laughing to tears, how foolish we were back then,
No matter what, we are friends 'til the end,

Yes, we are friends 'til the end.

More Than Poetry: I take “Pretty Petty Poetry” very, very seriously. Some people think poetry is very “old fashioned”, boring, and not that interesting. I can understand. To me, poetry is the true heart of a person. I describe it as: lyrics without any music. Because of my speech, I can’t talk fast or normal; discovering poetry has really opened me up.

Pretty Pets: I want your feedback on “Pretty Petty Poetry”. I want to know on how I can improve on this business. I’m very open on your comments.
