Hannah? A faithful friend’s worth more than gold!

Despite what the economists would say.

Your beauty is a pleasure to behold;

I pray that as a friend to me, you’ll stay.

Oh Hannah, you were first to talk with me,

When I was new and had no one for aid;

I will make up to you somehow, you’ll see!

I’ve made mistakes, just like all humans made.

But Hannah, my sweet friend, that’s no excuse;

I must learn to control myself, no doubt!

My words were childish, hateful, and obtuse;

It is not right to curse, and hate, and shout.

And yet, I did all this to you, my friend;

Forgive me, oh sweet Hannah, I have sinned!

I have many good friends here, but this poem is dedicated to Hannah, a wonderful person and the first one to talk to me here :)
