The Best of Friends

                    By Jill Wolf

 

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
when you feel down.

The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials,
And lend a hand.

The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.

The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

This poem is about how great some friends are. Wolf states that the best of friends 'understand, care, and give love' to their friends. Good friends are truely hard to find, and they are really special. You can rely them and count on them, thats why they are "worth more than gold." I really like the ryhme scheme in this poem. Each stanza starts with "The best of friends," and then the following second line and fourth line rhyme.  True friends are very important and this poem portrays how great they really are.

Never Say Never

By Justin Bieber

See I never thought that I could walk through fire.
I never thought that I could take the burn.
I never had the strength to take it higher,
Until I reached the point of no return.

And there^,s just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
It^,s my destiny.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up up up,
And never say never.

I never thought I could feel this power.
I never thought that I could feel this free.
I^,m strong enough to climb the highest tower.
And I^,m fast enough to run across the sea.

And there^,s just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
Cause this is my destiny.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.

Here we go!
Guess who?
JSmith and Jb!
I gotcha lil bro.
I can handle him.
Hold up, aight?
I can handle him.

Now he^,s bigger than me,
Taller than me.
And he^,s older than me,
And stronger than me.
And his arms a little bit longer than me.
But he ain^,t on a JB song with me!

I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill.
No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will.

Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove.
Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.

I gotta be the best, and yes
We^,re the flyest.
Like David and Goliath,
I conquered the giant.
So now I got the world in my hand,
I was born from two stars
So the moon^,s where I land.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.

I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up,
Pick it up, up, up,
And never say never.

I think its safe to say most young girls are obsessed with Justin Bieber because of his music. This song, "Never Say Never", which is also the name of his new movie, is about fighting for what you want. It encourages you to keep fighting and keep trying. Even when you are knocked down, Justin Bieber says to not stay on the ground; pick yourself up and keep fighting. Bieber uses a simile in the line, "Like David and Goliath,I conquered the giant." He"s saying he felt so strong that he felt like he conquered a giant. Repetition is also popular in many songs. In this song, the line "Pick it up" is repeated many times.
