This is to all!

This is to all!

This is to all!
Some tall, some small and this is to all!
Some plump, some thin,
Most have goodness deep within.
Some just take it on the chin!
All have downfalls,
Drink too much alcohol,
Or coffee or tea!
Some are not as clever,
As others with degrees!
Some are funny or hopeless with money,
Some are sweet as runny honey.
Some are savers, some need favours,
Some like quiet, some are ravers.
Some are honest, some white lie.
Some are skint and just scrape by.
Some are loud and amplify.
Some are happy to comply.
Some are younger, some are older,
Some just hunger, some are bolder.
Some are lonely, just need a shoulder.
Some just listen, some just glisten,
Go through life like it's a mission -

Ambitious, so driven!

Some so easily forgiven!

Or some just give in!
Some are quiet, some like a riot,
Some just live their life on a diet!
Some are independent, transcendent,
Others can be so dependent.
Some just talk and do not stop,
Others shop until they drop.
Some work too hard and
Spend too much on credit cards!
Others always on their guard.
Some are happy, others sad,
Sometimes life has been too bad.
Now it's time for me to add
That all of our different shapes and sizes
Different colours and compromises -
Just wanted to emphasise
And perhaps commend -
Even overextend
My living days, in every way;
To cheer up a miserable Monday
And I couldn't comprehend
Life, without my friends.
