  Oh, ho! Oh ho, here you are
My friend, my friend from far
Am I glad to see you here
Oh my friend, oh dear, dear!

All this road you have treaded
All its rough have you coped
Don't know what you were fed
Don't know what you had groped

Let me wash your feet
Oh friend, oh love of mine
Let me offer you a seat
Let your big smile shine

Tell me, tell me all that you want
It's been long we saw each other
Skipping anything? No, you can't
I demand all of it to hear

I don't have a lot to go but
I'll offer it all I got in the hut
Even if it's not there in what I got
Do tell me dear you want what

Those days of your modest help
And my limited little means
Remember how our strong self
Learnt and got by since!

Stay here as long you like
May be stay here for ever
Your presence is such a hike
Think of leaving never


Oh good neighbors, come here
Come here and see who I have
It's my friend who has come from far
It's my friend whom I much love
He's my heart, he's my soul
Shower him love and cheer! !

a friendly poem which shows up sincere feelings
well said!

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain

emotions expressed nicely, the plot demanded little more creativity though.
