Friendship

Amidst the crowd I walk , millions of faces to talk.
Behind every face is a story , some gay others gory.
Exchanging pleasantries when we meet , with a smiling face we greet .
Intermingling caste and creed , a patient ear is what we need .
Our busy schedule and unearthly life is a mess , a friend’s all we need to beat the stress.

It’s an inexplicable bond which only grows strong .
Straying down the lanes of memory ,
I cherish the times we made merry.
It’s not always that a “Friend in need is a friend indeed”.
There have been exceptions when the faith has been breached .
Cycle of life has had many things to teach .Some prayed others preached .
But mostly the circumstances had to feed.

We win some , we lose some , yet we’ve the heart to learn.
Learning from our mistakes we’re always on the run.
Friends have always given the shoulder for us to cry ,
a support for us to rely , our partner in crime , our perfect alibi.
Which is why ? They’re precious to us and a part of our daily life.

For those who feel deprived of the most beautiful gift from life ,
don’t be disheartened it’s never too late to try.
Extend your hand with true selflessness and trust ,
friends would form easily and they’ll be there to last.
