Poem
Ode from a Friend Having forged our bonds since the days of youth Shared many battles of life together Friend, let me on you uncover some truth, You may brush them aside in the ether Your cheeks may turn red on hearing my words You may be wobbled by waves of unease, But let the bare truth far and wide be heard Let your ears digest what I say with ease; You`re a deep sea of compassion, my friend With your heart grieving when you see some souls In utmost needs and their offspring can`t fend Without any roof, without any goal, You`re keen to lend to them a helping hand Bring some solace to their desolate plight And as divine agent, to them extend The sparkle of sublime mercy and light. You`re archetype of modesty, my friend You bear on yourself no gleams of conceit, About your own shine you do not defend But of every man you speak fair and sweet, For you, modesty is not a weakness But a strong symbol of your inner strength, It`s expression of your uniqueness That from haughty souls marks the difference. You`re a symbol of honesty, my friend Sustaining the shine of sincerity Dealing with candid frankness with all men Holding high the flag of integrity Espousing the highest moral values In midst of the sparkling shine of summer And hugging the highest human virtues Even when weird wild winds blow in winter. My ink is close to running dry, my friend, To paint all your positive traits today My ink can`t sustain what I wish to pen And I have miles to go on my long way, Let it be for other days when we meet Let it be when the sun tempers its shine, Until then, please accept my sincere greet And look forward to that propitious time.
