Poem: Need one for a close friend

[JoPalm]

I decided to make something for a close friend of mine, known her for about 5 years and yes just a friend. Got any suggestions? I need to include it in the gift.

What kind of something did you make? Curious. And thinking of poems that would be good.

This one may not fit the occasion:

When You are Old
W. B. Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

I made like a frame w/ a bunch of pics of the person .

Any other poems?
