A True Friend

The only ship which takes you down the timeline,
And sail your gloomy spirit to the cloud nine, 
Without any favor, obligation and dues,
This adorable ship will take you up,without any bruise.

Enormous  capacity  this ship owns
With which the misery  or melancholy,  all gets blown,
Blessed are those who board this amicable ship
Which I proudly say is none other than a true friendship.

After wandering in search for many decades,
After witnessing many more hues and shades,
Came across a being with strong belief. 
With whom was convinced, will be kept at bay from every grief. 

Drawn with remorse for the grave blunder of unseeing, 
Decided to walk along with this super being. 
A good old friend who joined me with my birth.
And surely will follow me up to my death.

Yes! found a true friend in my own conscience.
Following whom I’m sure, my every task wins.
Love thyself and deeply, peep within.
With trust in self and confidence, a new friendship will begin.
