The Way You Are Poem by Asrar Qureshi

We are who we are
We are what we are
We are what we do
We are what we think
We are what we live
We are what we leave
And, we are what others think we are
We are good, kind, social, lively, lovely, supportive, and broad-minded
We are also bad, isolated, ugly, jealous and narrow-minded
We are ‘ordinary’ people.
And then there are ‘extraordinary’ people. Few, but yes, there are.
You are one of them. And it is because of The Way You Are.
You are intelligent of mind, lovely of physique, pure of heart, sensitive of feelings, lively of emotions, generous of dealings and charming of manners
When you speak, you display clarity and strength of thoughts
When you write, you show creative force and power of expression
When you meet, you are attractive and pleasant
And when you bestow your friendship on someone, you are generosity and care and feelings embodied.
Each one of your qualities is great in itself, but it is the overall combination that makes you unique.
I feel so much enriched since I got to know you. I am grateful to you that you have considered me worthy of your company and I am honored that you give me so much special consideration.
My Friend! I want to ask you to spread your goodness, utilize your extraordinary talent to make your impression on this world and leave a legacy behind. I may not live long enough to see all of it but I certainly wish to see it happening; and believe me, nothing would make me happier.
And My Friend! Keep it the way you are
Because I Cherish You The Way You Are.
