My Dearest Friend
Friend! I love you, love you dear
My joy knows no bound with tear
When I realized how great and precious you are
I can’t help but love and admire the way you are.
Today, we are constantly together
Tomorrow, we may depart from each other
Life is great but uncertain
We never know the end of its fountain.
We are one soul and always tender
We are in love that is to ponder
I will always think of you and dream
Till the end of my breathing stream.
I wish you my dearest friend
From the source of my heart’s stream
May you bloom like a flower with dews
And live like those glories in all hues.
—Sagar Sharki
Precious Life
Your eyes may tell a thousand tales,
Of many a silently shed tears,
Your gestures may speak of countless fears,
Of many a hidden care;
Your smiles may years to sprout,
But you prefer to let it fade;
Your unspoken words may tear the heart,
As you conclude—its just nor fair;
And yet don’t you serve a second chance?
A chance to value the gift of God,
Because, precious life was not meant
To fade away in the sand of the mind!
—Smitha G. Ghandare
