arunayaar,

Thank you....

kya karein kabhi joron khi barish jaise aa jaate hain shabd...
aur kabhi jaise doondey do boond paani ret mein....
aap jaise dost hon toh hum lagey rahenge likhney
jaise tip tip kartey hue boondein jo hamarey ghar khi nal se nikaltey hain...

You have really made my day by sharing the poem with me..and that too so apt as if it was for me....:hatsoff

Wowwwwwwwwwww lovely poem Shanthi
It was nice to read a poem from you after a long time.
Just today I got this poem in my mail box. It looks like it has come at the right time to share with you.

You're a true friend,
that I want you to know,
Our love for each other
has helped us to grow.
We've been through some tough times,
but we've made it through,
The only one I ever trusted was you.
You helped me through anger,
you've chased away fears.
You held me through sadness,
and kissed away tears.
You stayed by my side
when the world turned away.
You helped me see joy
when the skies were all gray.
You were the rainbow
at the end of the storm.
You help me be different
when I shouldn't conform.

You held my hand
when you knew we would fall.
Every heartache,
you saw me through it all.
I'm not sure
I'm always the best friend to you,
I know I'm not perfect,
but this much is true.
When life gets you down,
And there's nowhere to turn,
I'll help you through and
I'll share your concern.
I'll try my best to return every favor,
When you're sure that you'll drown,
then I'll be your lifesaver;
Even if we both go down.
Whether we sink or swim
doesn't matter at all,
Just know that I'll be there
whenever you call.
I'll pull you out
when life pulls you under.
I'll be the sun
when there's lightning and thunder.
And when it's all over,
And we've fought every war,
There's one thing I promise,
Of this I am sure,
When the time comes
that we're put to our rest.
Be sure that you know that,
My friend, you're the best.
And if there is Heaven,
then I know you'll be there,
That if you die first
then you'll hear every prayer.
And soon I'll join you,
but just know until then.
That I'll miss you each day
'til I see you again.
At the end of the tunnel,
you'll be my guiding light,
You'll lead me to heaven,
away from the night.

We'll be there together,
and we'll never grow old.
And we'll walk hand in hand
On the streets paved of gold.

Dear Shanthi
I am envious of
Federer
Pele
Dr.Abdul Kalam
Narayanamurthy
Amitab Bachan
SPB
and now of you!

I may be able to emulate others but never a poet. Let me first get my prose straight!
That was a beautiful poem. How elated Veda should be feeling reading it!

When i am clouded by doubts
and look out for a reassurance,
You just use your eyes to tell,
here i am, by your side..

When I feel sad and tears blind me,
there you are to just wipe them
pat my cheek and say it is ok
saying, here I am, by your side..

When I feel happy and laugh out loud,
knowing I could become breathless..
there you sit beside rubbing my back ,
saying, here i am, by your side...

When I am angry and am spitting fire,
like the dragon that our son draws,
there you are saying relax,in your soothing voice,
saying, here i am, by your side....

When I feel I need to sit alone
think and analyse, retrospecting,
you sit just holding my hand,
saying, here i am, by your side....

When I feel everything is wrong,
and things are still going wrong..
you just wrap me in your arms,
saying, here i am , by your side...

Though reasons keep us apart,
A small whiff of a breeze ,
A paper with your signature,
A hi in the offline message,
A hello on the phone,
A sniff of your perfume,
Everything feels so right,
telling me you are here,
as always by my side...

you're everything special
that means love to me..
God is love, love is god
everybody says....
but for me you are love
love is you....
