Year 7 Coordinator FRIENDSHIP
Are we friends are we not? You told me once but Iforgot. Tell me now and tell me true,
So I can say I’m here for you.
Ofall the fi-tends I’ve ever met,
You're the one I wont forget. IfI die before you do,
I’ll go to heaven and wait for you. I’ll give the angels back their wings,
And risk the loss ofeverything. Just to prove my Jriendship is true,
