SONG OF FRIENDSHIP

We all have dreams in our younger days

And you've revealed yours unintentionally

So on your birthday

I gave you a harmonica

That lit up your smiles that I could never forget

Our friendship developed like a gentle stream

That gradually flew into both our hearts and souls

Reminiscing days when I cheered while you were on the fields

And I carried you on my back when you fell

In the nights when comets crossed the sky

We sat and thought about our future

The night breeze heard us uttering our brightest endeavors

We all have grievances in our younger days

But for my anguish and all, only you could understand them

Whenever I was down

You would play that melody from the harmonica

The soothing tunes would then lift me up from my blues

Time gradually passed by

And soon, we have to part

I gently pat on your shoulders and said: friend, don't be despair

The dusk light may draw near with pride

We have a way and vision with our path ahead

Whether that lead to success or failure, the days we had together were not to forget

Many years later, we meet again

We both have weary smiles now

I asked: how are you, my friend?

And when will you play that melody for me again?

Is everything ok? Is everything still the same?

Life is full of many different encounters

But with true friends around to appreciate & cherish each other

Life is much more meaningful and hence may it last forever like the stream does
