Alexandro Acevedo Johns

Magic Friend

I'm your imaginary friend

when you are alone

and you're feeling off

on your smartphone

I give to you sweets

without control

if you run and dance

every day a lot

I'm a galactic hero

with millions of drones,

you and I can help children

that are looking for homes

Because animals

are also my friends,

from circuses and zoos

I release to them

I bet you don't know

that I'm inside

your puppy's tail

showing our happiness

I only beg of you

that when you grow up

just call me sometime,

and I'll answer

direct to your heart.

Amy a butterfly chases

Big smiles on our faces.
