True Friend


I sometimes feel you could hear every 
word I say,
Strange, I know, you are a thousand 
miles away.
Sometimes, when I am feeling down 
and low,
Your message pops up on my phone, 
I smile and think, how did you know,
as your sweet words and funny pictures 
carry me through the day,

You have always taken an interest in 
my life and never failed to enquire how 
I have been,
Sharing your time, love and support,
not once have you been abrupt or mean, 
Our friendship, a bond well-established 
and strong, I hope it will never fade,
May it continue to evolve and reach a 
few more decades.

Your presence in my life is something 
special, and I describe it as a rare 
treasure,
You can make an outing to the Cafe 
seem like an adventure,
Being in your company is exciting and 
a pleasure,
Your generosity can’t be compared or 
measured.

No matter how much I rack my brains 
going over and over,
The answer is the same, you're my 
best friend and my four-leaf clover,
Your efforts and time are valued more 
than I could ever say or show,
I am lucky to have you in my life
and this is my way of letting you 
know.

This is such a warm and heartfelt tribute to a true friendship. It reads like a letter wrapped in kindness—simple, sincere, and deeply touching. I love how it captures those little moments, like a message arriving just when needed. That line “you’re my best friend and my four-leaf clover” is especially sweet. A lovely reminder of how rare and grounding real friendships are.

To have an understanding friend who can wipe away our blues, heal our hurts and make his/her presence felt through kind words and gestures, though far away is indeed a blessing. The way you have analyzed and assessed this true friendship is so heartening. May you enjoy this friendship for long. A beautiful poem, dear Zyrool.
