Ode To a Friend

I was a gloomy person Always morose and sad My days seemed dark and lonely My nights always bad Thoughts in my mind Were all about destruction and death Never saw a reason to smile Never felt the warmth in the hearth That’s when I met somebody Someone like you, my friend Who changed the way I lived life And reversed the trend Who gave me reasons to smile To laugh and dance with joy I stopped seeing life like a battle As in the lore of Troy So now I am happy and smiling Living life to its fullest Hearing the music in nature And singing it with zest I know I will live life And be happy till its end And it could never be this way Without you, my friend.
