The Real Gift

I got you a gift she's a soft and snugly mouse Your favorite Yeah, I still remember We haven't changed that much

Today was confusing You found a kind of toy you liked but you aren't allowed to have it all because other people would laugh at you That's not okay

I can't get one like it but I did bring you her someone to cuddle with at night and you can carry her around and take care of her just like that doll you wanted

I hope you carry her around without fear I hope you carry yourself without fear I hope you can hold her and not be afraid to be who you are

It's okay to be who you are to be what you are Cos in the whole world There is only one of you

That's why you are the real gift

Silly Old Bear

When I was sick You'd whisk me away To adventures with your friends And make it a good day

There were lessons to learn There was wisdom to teach A world of simple joy All within my reach

We bounced and trounced We worried and pondered We celebrated and whooped We gazed and we wandered

I'll never forget those times No, I wouldn't dare All the adventures in your woods Me and you, you silly old bear

Back to Those Days

It’s been a long time since I put you away and thought I’d never see you again but I unpacked you today You were covered in dust I’d forgotten some of your names but you all made me smile as I remembered our old games

We played so many times before long ago, when I was small we can play again now even though I’m quite tall

Although my life goes on every now and then, I can look at you And go back to those days when life wasn’t so blue

The Story Behind Back to Those Days

Sleep Tight

Bringing me comfort when I most need it Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold My eternal friends, always there You never judge, you never scold No matter how bad I got Even when I shouted and screamed You were there when I calmed down To see me off to a safe sleep

When darkness fell night after night You were by my side to keep nightmares at bay Even now, I know I can look to you on fearful nights when they won't go away

So sleep tight, my dear friends Know that because of you No matter how dark the night I will too

The Story Behind Sleep Tight

Friendship Survives

In spite of the times we yelled at one another We got through it together To the years of spaceships and video games Of action figures and code names Through that whole time our friendship survived Even when I went away And you had to stay I came back in a hurry and we enjoyed old movies and curry Together, we'll thrive and our friendship will survive

Even now, we're still together We will be forever Even though we're apart It won't fade, it won't even start We've got the rest of our lives because true friendship survives

The Story Behind Friendship Survives

I Was There

Thu, 24 Oct 2019 10:00:00 +0000

On that first day of school when you didn’t know anyone at all I was there so you wouldn’t feel afraid. Over the summer, when everyone else had gone off to camp I was there to run through the fields with you. We were wizards fighting dragons, or pirates sailing the seas. We played all day until your mom and dad came and got you.

Or that time when you tried getting an extra cookie I was there to be the lookout. I wasn’t very good at it. Sorry about that.

We laughed and played. We sang and we danced. And we were there to have fun for as long as we could.

But then one day, things changed. The fun stopped, and the work started. You were always too busy with school. And when you weren’t, you went out with friends. I don’t think you noticed me anymore. But still, I was there.

When that one friend yelled at you, I was there when they slammed the door. Or that other friend that just never showed up. I was there when you locked yourself in your room. I don’t think you knew I could hear you crying.

As the days went by, I watched you change. No matter what happened, no matter what you did, I was there, just in case you needed a friend.

Then one day, you looked up at me and said “Hello” And I smiled and said “Hello”

And we talked like we used to. We drifted away back to those shining days. And for a moment, we were there together.

It didn’t last long. Soon, you had to go away. I was there when your parents left you at that strange place you called “college”.

I was there then. I’m here now. And I’ll be there tomorrow. Because that’s what friends are for.

With love, Your Imaginary Friend
