To all my friends..........

Hurt and lonely in a crowd I stood,
Wondering what it was to feel good;

Searching for the ones I love,
Running away from push & shove;

Where are the ones who love me?
I need them now, right beside me;

Trying to ignore the ones that don't care,
The ones that snub, the ones that glare;

Don't wanna fight, don't want attention,
Just want to live in peace, no tension;

Brooding over such thoughts so I was,
Sitting in the woods, pensive and cross;

Sudden sound of laughter, coming close,
Curious, Startled, from the grass I rose;

There they were, loving & smiling,
With open arms for me, waiting;

Rushed into their arms, there I happily lay,
Thrilled to bits as I heard them say,
"Dear, We missed you,
couldn't wait to see you";

Later that night, looked up to the silvery skies,
To thank God, for blessing me with friends so nice!!!

When you miss a true friend...

When you were here and I shed a tear,
I was sure you'd wipe it totally clear;

Your presence beside was not a must,
Your voice, the words I totally trust;

Never have you lied and tried to please me,
It was always about being true to me;

In your place I wonder if I'd be half as good,
Whether your problems I've ever understood;

You never expected anything from me,
Or were my eyes too tightly shut to see?

Have been selfish and am sorry for that,
Will be there for you at the drop of a hat;

You're my friend, so am lucky and grateful,
I promise, to you I shall always be truthful;

Never dreamt I'd be so close to you,
That the slightest thing wanna share with you;

An anchor, a support, a friend you're and have been,
Whether near or in faraway lands unseen;

Now it just doesn't matter where you are,
I know you're there for me - near or far :) :)

Perseverance... :)

Perseverance is the key,
It's what sets you free;

When you're totally down,
It'll help erase the frown;

When things go totally wrong,
It'll help you to be strong;

When you're terrified and can't cope,
It'll fill your heart with hope;

When your body with fear turns cold,
It'll spur you on to be bold;

When your breath stops and you feel crushed,
It'll pump the much-needed adrenaline rush;

The lesson is to go on, confident and strong,
Undeterred by trying times that won't last long;

It'll calm you, inspire you to be brave
It's the strength internal that God gave :)

To you...the best I've known :)

You gave me strength to get through the dark, lonely night

Though miles away you are busy with your plight...

Never once you question why I call only you,

Always saying "I'll be there for you"...

You surprise me by calling when I am excited or low;

How do you know your call makes me glow?

You give me the utmost happiness and also the greatest sorrow;

Knowing as I do that we may have no tomorrow...

Yet I say...You are the best I have known,

You are probably the best I will ever know...

For you... :)

If you hadn't been so understanding,

If you hadn't been so caring,

If you hadn't been a dear friend,

If you hadn't been a confidant,

If you hadn't been an advisor,

If you hadn't been a great listener,

If you hadn't been a motivator,

If you hadn't been my mentor,

If you hadn't been so lovable,

If you couldn't read my mind,

If you hadn't been so trustworthy,

If you hadn't been so nice...

Maybe I could think twice...

Before falling in love with you over and over again...
