Dear Friend

Dear friend,
 Is it your feeble knock i hear
Waiting to offer a lifetime tale
Wailing in gasps to create
      This great affinity we treasure?

                              I'll be lying if I denied so

  Is it real,
That it's you and I who blew that candle
And left luscious tones vibrating behind
That its you and I who made the bond to be in full bloom
And brought to life a sedate surpassing beauty
          A beauty of life
          A friendship for life?

                               I'll be honest to claim it so

I've searched every nook and cranny
    So as to get a friend like you
I've journeyed with every of my thought
    And, all I can say is,
     THANK YOU
For a great friend you've been
For a best friend you'll always be
