FRIEND



My scribbled hand enriched your lines
Scribed and etched your tender soul
Day one, my agony in school
Fears about a world unknown
A loner I was till you befriended me

The spaces speak aloud “You Ignored Me”
Later to fill in with hurried attempt
Chapters that overhauled my existence
You jumped on board and it felt
Like you’ve been there, my friend

Through times when the tunnel narrowed
Darkness engulfed all the way long
When I almost gave up, you were
My source of wisdom and strength
Lamp of hope, my friend

I look back and yes I’ve erred
Many a times, many a place
Too late sometimes to mend
You watched over for me
Like a guardian angel, my friend
