A Friend

In every life there is always a light,
A light that guides us never deserts.
Bringing us back however astray,
The ray of hope, with us all the way.

This ray, however we might,
Will never dispel, always be bright.
Making us feel the goodness of warmth,
Cheerfulness and love pacing along.

Many a time when we lose faith,
There is always a shadow showing us the way.
And when we stumble due to pride,
This shadow teaches us what is right.

The value given by us to that light,
Is more than gems and diamonds combined.
This shadow is with us till the end,
The one whom we call a FRIEND
