Friendship Poem
Tribute to a Mentor from a Mentee
A poem written by a student for her mentor at the end of an 8 month GR8 MATES school-based mentoring journey and shared with all mentors and mentees at the final Celebration of Learning event.
Friendship
You’re my friend and that is true,
But the gift was from me to you.
We went through moments that were good and bad,
Even moments that were happy and sad.
You supported me when I was in tears,
We’ll stick together for years and years.
It’s really sad that it has to be this way,
But it has reached its very last day.
Miles away can’t keep us apart,
Because YOU will always be in my heart.
