A Memory To Cherish

Troubled by the colleagues’ dirty tricks, Exhausted by the day’s hard labour, Bored by the routine domestic work, Once I wanted to visit an old friend of mine. Seeing me at his threshold, He welcomed me with a ‘Duchenne smile’. As if he found a treasure in me, Gave me a ‘bear hug’, With a feeling not to lose me. Many a pleasantry was exchanged. His condition was the same as mine. We both got strength and solace, In each other’s company. Oh! What a memory to cherish!!
