Eternal Friendship

a poem by Chitra Sankar

I was sitting on the seashore,
With the waves lapping at my feet,
Thinking of the days of yore.
I traveled back in time,
I heard the school bells chime
The school days had come to an end.
My friend my hand securely held.
To pull it away
Tore my heart.
Friendship is eternal and forever
We wrote in our autographs.
Suddenly behind me some laughs,
Jolted me to the present.
To die, was friendship meant?
No, The memories of fun galore,
That we had in the days of yore
Will forever be cherished,
For Friendship is eternal
And will never be perished.
