Friend Poem by Anshul Gupta

An extension of myself
A companion for life
In times sweet and bitter
Always by my side
That's what you are, my friend.

Bodies may be two
But soul is surely one
Brother, sister, mother and father
A bit of you is present in everyone.

When I lose you encourage me
When I win you celebrate with me
A great shoulder to rest my head on
A soft hand to tightly clutch on
My guide through the life's maze
That's what my friend you mean to me.

God asked me if He took everything back
What one thing I would like to retain
It didn't took me long to whisper in His ears,
your lovely name, my friend's name.
