'You are my Friend, my greatest companion'

'You are my Friend, my greatest companion'

A multitude of roles you characterise,
In life's journey you always mesmerise,
Whether you are far-flung or lay near,
You keep me going through all facets of fear,
You keep me going through my happy times and bad,
Whether you yourself are gloomy or sad.
Sometimes a stubborn teacher's role you play,
You teach me how to be strong and lively and gay,
You teach me how to live, love and let go,
Then to evolve into a flower whose seeds you sow,
A flower which is tender outside and strong within,
Such is your charisma so rare to believe in,
Such is your charisma that I find hard to express in words,
For words are mere concealment of true feelings and regards,
For words only say and donot show the true meaning of life's spirit,
Rather your unspoken silence speaks mammoth of this gift.
Your actions hold me tender while i behold this spectacle unfold,
This spectacle called friendship, is worth more than all the gold,
This spectacle called friendship, is worth more than a perfect after-life,
A single friend is worth a complete garden in this life,
As I lay me down to rest, I will always cherish this gift called friend,
As I lay me down to rest, you are my true companion, you are my greatest friend.
