True Friend Poem by sreelekha premjit

When you are in doubt, turn to me
When you are pretty sure, still come to me
When you are lost in wonder, look for me
When self doubts assault you, find me standing by.

When things are not all hunky and dory
When folks desert you for something merry
When hurt fills you, leaving you in fury
trust me to make you happy.

When you lose patience
When life leaves you no chance
When you are tired of nonchalance
come to me in confidence.

When all hopes are exhausted
the dreams are all busted
when a little too far you are pushed
the wall of self defence is smashed.

Find in me your trusted confidant
walk in any time with anything pertinent
be sure to walk off with smile intact
for I am your trustful friend always.
