To make you laugh, to make you cry
To tell you stories, that you can’t deny
To listen to all that you had to say
Sometimes just to make you sway!
There comes someone in your life
When talking to others becomes a strife
It is just miraculous how you get close
You talk as if there is nothing to disclose
There can be more than one such friend
That can make the relationship to transcend
This is that best friend you can get hold of
Mind you; it need not always be your love
You might have had someone to speak to
When you were alone, had nobody to turn to
Who just happened to help you sail through
Somebody somewhere is always there for you!
To tell you stories, that you can’t deny
To listen to all that you had to say
Sometimes just to make you sway!
There comes someone in your life
When talking to others becomes a strife
It is just miraculous how you get close
You talk as if there is nothing to disclose
There can be more than one such friend
That can make the relationship to transcend
This is that best friend you can get hold of
Mind you; it need not always be your love
You might have had someone to speak to
When you were alone, had nobody to turn to
Who just happened to help you sail through
Somebody somewhere is always there for you!
Amazing, Madhu! SO simple yet well placed words, stating a fact that we tend to forget during the lowest times in life.
ReplyDeletenice one Madhu....
ReplyDeleteMadhuri, to me this poem resembles so much of you... about you as a person... your nature.. to be that somebody to your friends.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this is so truly your writing style as well... arising out of the very personal, and a deep introspection... yet, accompanied with positive conviction... instilling a lot of optimism in the reader.
Thank you for the the poem, and the person you are.
