Friendship

a poem by Mahua Roy

I need support, I need love,
I need a Different relationship, sent from God above.

A relation without which one is lame,
A relation as sacred as God’s own name.

A relation as pure as a Mother’s tear,
A relation as innocent as a Baby’s fear.

In this evil world, there still exists a relationship,
Which by God’s grace is named Friendship.

Even the most evil person has a supporter called Friend,
Whose trustworthy love can never! ever! end.

A friend will share tears with you and also peals of laughter,
And will keep alive this bond forever and ever after!

Two bodies and a soul set sail this ‘ship’
With two hands tightly held with an enormous grip.

Friendship does not only mean sharing smiles and tears,
But just an unbreakable vow! ‘Give me your hand when you are in pain! ‘
