Memory Lane

by Anthony smith

Do you really know what a best friend is,
It's totally different from a movie made in show biz,
They're there thick and thin,
by your side trying to make them ends,
Whenever I'm getting picked on,
They're there to defend,
I'll have unconditional love for them,
Even if they choose to inject drugs into their skin,
For I know the fun, funny, and good hearted person within,
Who am I to judge another brother,
My GOD wants us all to love one another,
He is the only one that can judge me,
I used to have a best friend,
But now he's living in my sleep,
Still I remember the good times we had,
The bad times don't exist,
Forgeting all the times he made me mad,
A good friend is always there like my dad,
We go back like 2 pimps in a Caddilac,
I was the quiet one and you was the mack,
Even though we lost touch,
I wrote this poem to tell my homies I miss ya'll so much,
If ya'll were here right now,
I would say thanks for holding me down,
GOD, I'm grateful for the new friends I found,
Maybe 30 years from now they'll still be around,
If not, then they're traveling in my mind like the cars uptown,
Only the special ones get a place in my heart like my grandma underground.
