Friends Forever

a poem by Jayaram Chetty D G

Not ones to come and go,
Nor acquaintances of long ago,
In all our thoughts and needs,
They are partners of good deeds.

In spite of all the miles
That lie between our homes,
The heart is never far,
From those for whom we care.

The risk is never so big,
The time never so scarce,
No hurdle so high to dare
For those, who’s love we share.

There’s no dearth of joy,
No moment that is slow,
In the midst of loving friends
Whose presence makes us glow.

Search mountains high and low,
In lands far and near,
With pride I do declare,
My friends are beyond compare.
