My Weekly Poem.

WALT read a poem and analyse the language features of a poem. This will help us think poetically so that we can write a similar poem to share with others.

May my friendships always be.
The most important thing to me.

With special friends I feel I'm blessed.
So let me give my very best.

I want to do much more than share.
The hopes and plans of friends who care.

I’ll try all that a friend can do.
To make their secret dreams come true.

Let me use my heart to see.
To realize what friends can be,

And make no judgements from afar.
But love my friends the way they are.
