Friend

when I cry you make me smile,
when I need somebody you are always there for me,
you take away my anger and keeps me calm as a little kid when I am confused you clear my mind,
when I am in pain you sing a song which soothes me as a Medicine, I know you care for me and keeps in the warmth of love, happiness, and caring,
you understand me, shows me the right path,
sometimes become my mentor to teach me,
you were always there on the first step of my difficulty,
thankyou my friend,..a small thanks is nothing in front of your large sky like support but then also like a twinkling star that shines the sky my thankyou shines our friendship.
