A True Friend
You sat with
me
during lunch
in an
all
white
school
Talk to
me
when
no
one
else would
You offered
me
some candy
You stood
up
to other
people
who
thauted
me
and
you
We sometimes
hung out
after
school
just me
and
you
We were
both
smart
kids
can't
you see
You even
gave
me
the
bell
ringer
job
You
Gertie Feldman
are
a
true
friend
to
Dawnie Rae Johnson
Even though
we are
from
different
races
I Dawnie
am
African American
and
you Gertie
are
Jewish
We are
true
friends
till
the
end
