friend

Two unknowns meet somewhere,

Interact, argue, confide and share.

As time passes they become one,

An outsider is now a close one.

The one you seek in the time of need,

Who stands by you in all your deeds.

Who cheers you up when you are low,

and bucks you up when you go slow.

The one with whom you fume and fight,

yet look up to for an answer right.

Whom you share your inner emotions with,

without feeling uneasy or sick.

In the presence of whom you feel secure,

Caught in the rough sea, who swims you to the shore.

In the dark your torch of light,

In torrid times, your shelter from peril and fright.

Whose hand wipes away your tears,

Whose voice calms down your fears.

Whose touch rejuvenates your senses n soul,

Whose hug keeps at bay terror and cold.

This someone is none other than a friend,

who forms a bond called friendship, which never ends.

The bond is universal yet distinct,

and only brings joy, smiles and bliss!
