Little Angels

A tiny handsome lad and a little beautiful dame
Holding each other's hand busy in their game
Walking side by side,shorter and shorter in their stride
Away into a world of their own they seemed to ride
They had nothing to worry about or anything to hide
But being with each other they did take pride
Neither the darkness around nor the lonely path ahead!
Was there a thing of which these kids were scared?
Along the road they both endlessly chattered
As if for them only the other one mattered
And poking and pinching and teasing and punching
The girl frowning,the lad coaxing all the way
At other times the boy joking and the girl laughing her heart away!!
They both knew at a point they had to part
Towards their homes each had to depart
Yet on their faces there were no signs of sorrow
They were sure they would meet again tomorrow.

Friends Forever

For the first time we met we were strangers
With lots of doubts hesitations, compulsions and fear...
Slowly yet steadily we began knowing each other
Then came a time we became the best of friends ever
Since then there are many a times we have fought
Without giving anything else a second thought
Each other’s help we have unconditionally sought!
But seeing tears in one’s eyes
Our sleep, our smiles we have forgot!
We are not friends if we drift apart
We are not friends if we don’t give a start
We are not friends if we keep on holding to silly things
We are not friends if we don’t understand
We are not friends if we don’t dare
We are not friends if we don’t care
We are not friends if we don’t share
Since when did we start trusting each other
Is something I still don’t remember!
Our bonds of friendship we so tenderly bear
At times happy or difficult our friendship will stand
High above wear and tear
That I am lucky to have you all as my friends is all that matters
Cos for each other I know we were, are and will always be there....
