Examples

My 14th goldfish

humorous, helpful and happy the person is.

Like a sea of love, that cares for the surrounding fish.

The wonderful person is bright, nice and friendly.

Makes me smile when I see them.

When the great person goes outside the leaves start to dance,

The wind gives a big woosh and rain flees the land.

Always positive is what he or she likes to be,

Always there for me.

It is an angel that teaches me life lessons.

A caring person for everyone around.

Teaches me to always help people,

Loves doing stuff while listening to a song.

It is not a famous person or something else, it's my mom.
