THE STORY OF A FRIEND FROM THE VIEW OF A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD

A Friend;

Without crossing this six lettered word called friend,

No life in this world would ever end;

For, people of any state or any religion

Any caste or any region,

Can be bound together by this relationship

Commonly known as friendship;

I am a sixteen year old, writing about friendship

Based upon all my best buddies’ small gossip

They say that,

 A friend is not a sun

Who strains you when you work

And when you are about to rest goes to sulk;

Nor is he a moon,

Who waits for you all the night when you, rest

And when you wake up vanishes like a sulking guest

But like the sky should a friend be,

Or at least he should be like the sea;

Whether it be day or night,

They always stay together

In spite of their thundery fights,

They never leave each other.

A friend is like a good mirror

Reflecting you in his soul more clearer as you go closer

He is your life’s ladder

Helping you with all his might when you step up

And standing for you with the same might when you need to step down

 A friend shows the world to you just like a window

And when you walk into it, he follows you like your shadow

Your shadow walks behind you when you face the light

And walks in front of you when you move away from the light

Similarly he encourages you from behind when you face success

And faces all the challenges for you when you step back from success

Just like your shadow is not seen when the light is above your head,

Your friend leaves it to you to enjoy when all your problems are dead.

Simply a friend is like an adverb,

Giving more meaning to your every verb

 Try to be such a friend in the heart of someone

And then you will understand where the great ocean of friendship runs

This poem is dedicated to all my friends

Without whose presence my life would never end.
