(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be
That's the question you ask me
You want me to do something that's wrong

A mirror image for all to see
One is perfect, no thoughts or fears
The other is used to shedding tears
One has never had heartache or pain
The other waits for hurt to gain. . . .

I loved to see the days go by
all blue and green and gold
It showed me that the world was mine
and all its glories would unfold.

Reflections on a windswept day
gotta go, no time to play.
Busy is the way we live

Mama told me
keep away
He'll never stay
He'll walk out on you.

Nighttime, fireflies
dancing in the trees
Moonlight, spring skies
magic everybody sees.
Firefly, take me high
let your bodylight sing
