To my Dear Friend Megan Roger Hampton

I wrote this to Megan for her 26th birthday. Everything in this poem is based on facts. Megan seriously had a dolphin ring.

Megan Roger Hampton: A confidant and a lifelong Friend

Ms. Paris’ Class
Sitting across from me
Ribbon in your hair
Wearing a Dolphin Ring

Friendship Established
Nineteen Ninety Three
Sixth Grade at Whitford
Hallway B

Mr. Maki, Mr. Riggs
Can’t forget Mrs. Baker
or the Goth “BJ”
Dressed like "The Undertaker”

You w/ James Steele
Or was it Gonzales?
Us little punks
Pretending to be lawless

Lynz, Steph, Erin, Allison and Liz
You, Whitney and us boyz, Crazy Kidz

Then onto High School
Nineteen Ninety Six
Green and Gold for a year
Then back in the mix

Back to BHS
Reunited
Had all your old friends
Super Excited

But up on the hill
Come snow Season
Academy bound
Ski Passion The Reason

And some turbulent times
Too many Friends passed away
Fitz and Monahan
Gave reason to Pray

'99 State Champs
To Kris Tyacke’s Fall
Counselors flooded the campus
Every Classroom and Hall

High School Graduation
And you’re off to Eugene
Rooting for the Ducks
In your yellow and green

Ups & Downs
Cancer Party in Sunriver
Or Up at your cabin
Sleddin’ in the Winter

We made it though
Here we are!
Been friends all this time
I’ve just added a few scars

It’s been a fun ride
I’ll say it again
A lifelong Friendship
With Megan Roger Hampton!!
