FRIENDS TILL DEATH!!...AND EVEN, BEYOND!!

Friends till death!!...and even, beyond!!



[This poem describes true friendship until death plays spoilsport…the guy who is narrating this poem is dying and has been rather unfortunate in life, yet he has been a very happy-go-lucky sort of person. and now for the first time, he’s cursing his life…he has lost all his family members at a very tender age and now has just his friends to add colour to his life….VERY TOUCHING!!..thts how i can describe this poem!!]








Life can be a bit cruel at times,
People always said so, but I never cared.
Life always gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
But, in my case, just one is enough to make me weep.
It’s high time I realize a fact,
With Death, I’ve made a pact.
No more than four days I am going to live,
But, in return, to my dear friends,
Hundred years He ought to give…

It’s really unfortunate for me, that
Life hasn’t given me another chance,
To meet my lovely buddies, my companions, my friends,
Friends who shared jokes while we ate,
Friends who kept pulling my leg time and again,
Friends with whom I’ve partied,
Friends who have cured many of my problems,
Friends who at times, have even been my problem,
Friends who taught me how to live,
But, in turn, I have never had anything to give.
I do not need my friends beside me anymore,
Coz they should now learn to live without me.
I do not need their sympathy and support,
Nor do I need love from them.
I’ve given them enough trouble already,
No more pain shall I give them at this fag end of my life.
With every passing breath, I realize,
I am another inch closer to death.
With Death, I’ve made a pact.
No more than four days I am going to live,
But, in return, to my dear friends,
Hundred years He ought to give…

Lying on the creaking bed in my hospital room,
My mind drifts to happier times,
To the most memorable moments I’ve spent with them,
Playing cricket or football in the rain.
We shared the same love; the same passion,
We shared the same zeal; the same enthusiasm,
For sports, movies, and in general, life.
They helped me stand, they helped me recover,
From many setbacks and unavoidable circumstances.
But in a couple of days time,
It’s really gonna be all over.
My time has come to part,
I’ve realized deep inside my heart.
I begin to miss them; I begin to weep,
Suddenly, I feel another pang of pain,
I begin to choke; I begin to hyperventilate,
And for the first time in my life,
I begin to curse God; I begin to curse fate...............


[ He passed away three days later, but he has left behind countless memories and an ideal example of friendship….may he rest in peace!!!]

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

YOU HAVE ENRICHED MY LIFE!!

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
