........

Amidst the journey of my life
I got the most beautiful gift
It was not packed in decorative boxes
But was the most cherished!!

It was not pearl, nor diamond, nor ruby

It was a friend so sweet and chubby.

Our friendship flourished through thick and thin times

Older the better just like a wine.

The essence of our friendship shall never fade

This bond I promise will never break.
