[hometext] => My best friend is the same age as I, in our teens, and her family is very poor. She often has to take care of the whole family. This is dedicated to her. I will be here for her for as long as she needs me.
[bodytext] => Pantry Empty Child Crying Four Siblings One mother. They are hungry, Yet they offer me Their only food, Chewy bars. This is no way To live. House is trashed, All the kids, Crammed in two Little rooms. This is no way To live. Eldest Child, My best friend, So small, Quiet. But she has A lot to say. Too much. She wants so cry. She wants to scream. But puts on a smile. This is no way To live. She stays strong, Becoming the mother. No matter what I will stay. Not pitying her, Helping her. She is my best friend And I will always Be here for her Till death.
