Friendship

A phrase that I read when I was a child,

Brought back memories and made me riled.

How deep was that phrase and how far was it true,

For the world was full of bad things with none to rue.

The phrase said, “A friend in need is a friend in deed”,

Are those words any worth in this world full of greed.

I help my friends and seek it back with something more,

Was this what it meant and is this that I was lore.

All my knowledge brought to zero by a guilt,

Had I forgotten all my values that my parents built.

Totally confused I went to a friend of mine,

Who has always helped me and our bond is like a twine.

Smiling at my question he said, “What am I to You ?",

“A Friend “ ,was my answer within a second or two.

Now I knew the answer of what a friend is,

The one who not only helps you but also makes life a bliss.

I hugged him tight and said, “You really deserve a meed !",

He simply replied,

“You’re my reward because, A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED”.
