The Sanctuary To Our Calamities-W

When I think of the friends I have got But couldn’t say the precise moment When friendship has been formed. A vessel filled drop by drop till last dropped. In earlier age, the friendship you beget Are difficult to leave, impossible to forget. I keep friends as a miser does his treasure Then give and take, I don’t ever measure. Trust and selflessness are true attributes That one can depend on to pay tributes. If a friend were to jump from a bridge I will definitely not follow him to the edge I would go down to the bottom to catch Will try everything to my might to fetch. Friends will come and friends will go, the seasons change and it will show, I will become old and so will you, But our friendship stays, strong and true. Dr. Ram mehta ============================== Fifth placement in Contest : Friendship in Honor of Paula Swanson
