For Lizzie

Sometimes you're a princess
Astride a handsome steed,
Sometimes you're a leggy cop
Helping those in need.

Sometimes you're on a frozen lake
On shining silver skates,
Gliding around the silent swans
In graceful figure-eights.

You surprise me with your ever-changing
Clothes, and skin, and hair,
But one thing always stays the same---
For all your friends you care.

Lizzie, I fear my second life
Is drawing to an end.
Before I die, please let me say
Thank you for being my friend!
