I just talk using a profound vocabulary. My est suggestion is to use a thesauraus.

From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.

Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.
With a gentle warm heart and a will of stone, We'll never be apart, You'll never be alone. - John <3

My favourite online dictionary/thesaurus
Really useful as it gives definitions, use in language, synonums, antonyms and notes on whatever word your looking for/at.

Yeah use a thesaurus.
And connectives other then 'and' (Like, 'as well as' 'also' 'in addition' words like that)








Feel free to contact me!

Words are awesome! The thesaurus/dictionary is an an amazing resource.

You've never heard of a thesaurus? And you're at an essay writing level/age? Holy crap.
But yeah, thesaurus would be the best, goodluck.
