For Lary

Honor and Integrity is something you possess
With your intelligence & smarts,
You'd be better than the rest
You'd make a great President right from the start

You set an example for others to follow,
You're an inspiration through time and space
You, my friend are far from shallow
You lead the way with dignity and grace

I know the path isn't easy
And sometimes day are long
You are sincere without being cheesy
You help so many others be strong

You shine a light in the darkness
So others are not alone
You really are
In a league of your own

Your strength and courage is something I admire
For friendship finds a home in the heart
Your bravery is something I truly desire
You've been a true friend right from the start

Our thanksgiving show was absolutely the best
You certainly put me to the test
I'll never again think of pie the same way
As I do from the fun we had that day.

You have a light within you
Unlike so many others
I'm so proud to know you
To call you my friend, my family, my brother.

Keep up the great work you do
You make this journey not so scary
In my heart, no other could replace you
This is a sister's loving poem, to her favorite "brother" Lary.

FOREVER MOM to Julianna and Joshua

NCP Friend Creed

Although you may not be,
With your loved ones on this day,
Their mom you will always be,
For nobody can take that away

For it is the enemy and the deceiver,
Who seeks to destroy our lives.
Remember your own truths,
And do not believe the lies.

For there is love and beauty,
In never giving up hope,
And if you need help really,
Just reach your hand out for a friendly rope.

So many separated from loved ones dear,
Another day, a week, a month, a year.
We must all be there for each other,
Father, sister, Mother, Brother.

Do not give up the fight,
Eventually good people win.
Never give up your right,
To parent your children again.

If you’re feeling a little down,
And maybe a little lonely,
Turn that frown upside down,
And reach out for another friend closely.

We are here to support each other,
No matter what the reason.
We must show unconditional love to another,
At any and all times, not just because of the season.

Just call out to a friend,
Whenever you are in need.
They’ll be there until the end,
For that is TRUE FRIENDSHIP’s creed.
