Friendship, Friendship, Friendship

You are the greatest of life’s gifts

You give me relaxation, you give me recreation

You help me tackle life’s myriad tensions

You know no bitterness, you know no selfishness

You are the best remedy for loneliness.

Oh! Friendship, you are a star that glistens in darkness

To give me a ray of hope in times of despair and sadness

Problems and frustrations come and go

But you are there forever to blossom and grow

So let me develop in your benign shadow

Into a tree which knows no sorrow.

True friendship, they say, has no bar to caste and creed.

It is only a friend in need, who is a friend indeed!
