18 Sonnets

I'm going to Dye's debut later at Embassy. God knows what I'll wear. Probably something that I can cover with a jacket/coat/whatever. I'm tasked to do a sonnet/poem for her, and I'm kinda pretty slow doing those kind of things. O well, it's her 18th, might as well come up with something nice, right?

Opt 1

Friendship is the kind of love that never can grow old.
Warm and cozy it will stay when other things are cold.
Friendship is a love so true it won't be denied,
because a friend will always be there close by your side.
Boyfriends and lovers come and go in this game of life we play,
But a true friend, no matter what, in your heart will always stay.
So hold these friends dear to you, and never let them go.
Think how much they mean to you, and make sure to tell them so.

Opt 2

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

who knows where she's going, and will keep on until she gets there;
who knows not only what she wants from life, but what she has to offer in return.

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

who is loyal to family and friends, who expects no more from others than she is willing to give;

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

who guides and inspires not by quoting others philosophies, but by living her own good example;
who accepts both victories and disappointments with the same grace, and who can rise above life's challenges and move on.

HERE'S TO THE WOMAN

who gives the gifts of her thoughtfulness,
who shows her caring with a word of support, her understanding with a smile;
a woman who brings joy to others just by being herself.

I'm kinda hoping I bump into someone really really close, so I'd be comfortable. If not, it's Embassy, the bar's open - I guess. HAHAHA
