Moments of happiness or at the time of peril,
You stand by me, be it any time of the year.
You are always there to care for me.
You are always there to lend me an ear.
I may not be a great writer.
But for you, I am a Shakespeare.
I may not have tasted success so often,
No one but you make me stand out as an achiever.
Be it my latent talent, you squeeze it out of me.
Be it my inconsistent etiquettes, you let it drown for me.
Your friendship adds new dimensions to my essence.
Your companionship leads me into another world of hope and happiness.
A person without friends is a bare chest
Lying abandoned deep within the ocean.
Friends are rare and treasured jewels who
Never gather rust with the changing season.
