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.
