People You Know
by Janet Alcorn

There are people you sit next to in class-
But there are only a few you study with.
There are people who like the same song you do-
But when it's heard, only a few are reminded of.
There are people you can share a beer with-
But then there are those who share ice cream floats.
There are people who tell you what's right and wrong-
But then there are those who help you live by it.
There are people you can tell your secrets to-
But then there are those who keep them.
There are people who say they miss you a lot-
But then there are others that keep in touch.
There are people who tell you how much they care-

But then there are those who show it.
There are people who are there when they need you-

But then there are those who never leave.
There are people that you see in your dreams-
But then there are those who make them come true.
