My Best Friend


My life had been lonely and days had been long
But then somewhere down the road you came along
You took my hand and walked by my side
To complete my dream, that couldn’t go wrong

                  I still remember the day I first saw you
                  Like a child who was lost and a bit confused, too
                  I had some good friends, just a very few
                  But then I found, my best friend, in you,

We shared our joys, our thoughts, our fears
We shared a great friendship all through these years
We knew in our hearts, we were made for each other
So we took the Vows, to live our lives, forever, together

                   And oh what a life this has been,
                   We’ve had our share of laughter and tears
                   And  all the ups and downs, we have seen
                   But still these have been, the best 30years

We loved and enjoyed, the thrill of being parents,
Learning to cope with our kids, tantrums and screams
Sharing their joy, their sorrow,their best moments
Re-living our life with them, and sharing their dreams
             
                    I think we are ageing, quite gracefully,
                    Our kids have grown in to fine young ones
                   We are still young at heart, and that’s the best part
                   ‘Cause our kids think, we are still, going great guns

It seems that we were together from eternity,
We were made for each other, don’t you see
This was the way, it was destined to be
Because without you, there is, no ME ,

                     You stood by me, through thick & thin,
                     With you by my side, my days begin
                     I can’t think of life without you,
                     Without you, my life would be a sin

With you by my side, I feel complete and content
With you near, by my side, I’d like, life’s journey to end
I know there’s no other, who can take your place
You were,you are and will always be, My Best Friend

    One of the best love poems I have ever read recently .. Feelings have been worded so beautifully :)

    I honestly think this should be published in hard print ! Do consider sending it to some compilations ..

    The poem serves as an inspiration in days as now where unimportant things are let to get in the way of relationships !!

    awaiting many more beautiful posts from you :)

  4. Ufffffffff itna pyaaaaarrrr, itna romanchak romance!!!
    It's beautiful... it's like a sequel to the anniversary poem! Simply wow!
    You and mumma seem to be setting benchmarks in everything that you take up - be it in terms of your filmy yet real love story, the wonderful bond of friendship that you both share, living your dreams, the art of bringing up kids in the best way possible, the niche art of dating at the age of 56-49 (this is class apart! :))or leading an ideal full-filling life!
    This blog and my kiddo sweety's blogs are the latest best things in my life - I draw so much inspiration from them and feel so proud and happy... I am happy-go-lucky, but an extra dose of happiness via a new medium never does any harm!
    Keep writing Dada! Love you tonnes :)

  5. Thanks, to all you wonderful people, for such encouraging comments. Do you know how many doubts I have before posting a new poem? Then I just brace myself for the worst & go ahead and post it. Honestly, all you guys are too kind & generous with the comments, I’m not sure, whether I deserve all this.
