Friend

a poem by Sumita Jagannathan

Not mother or father or sister can be
what a dear friend means to me
’cause family calls for love and care
with friends, its each other’s fare.

Friendship is that divine grace
that nurtures love in life’s race
a friend is someone I can trust
in this race, a friend is a must.

So dear darling friend of mine
things with us will always be fine
every minute and every hour
I’ll love you for the friend you are.
