Old Friend Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Old and also
Ever new,
You are my dear,
Dear best friend.
You are always
With me side by side.
I know you are always
Eager to have me
There with you.
You are with me
As witness,
You give me
All chances to enjoy,
And you give me
Good counsel and
Advises so many times.
I am ignorant, rustic,
I lack art and culture,
Yet you love me so much.
I wonder, and I know not
How to utter words,
How to write and yet,
You are there to welcome me
Everywhere and you are there
To give me all awards.
I realize you are in my heart,
And I am here to execute
Your mission to raise each person.
