So every year for the last two years around mid-August and early September I host a contest about love, loss or friendship. This contest is dedicated to the my dear friend who passed away three years ago. This time I want to see poems about friendship. I want you to write a poem about your friend (s) telling them how much there presence means to you in your life. Friendship is something that cannot be measured in numbers. No amount of words can decide how much you love a person. In my life I have many people whom care for me and are there for me through thick and thin no matter how close or far away they are.
I remember the first day that I had seen Shivaan, he stood amongst the boys on our way to assembly. He was so happy to be in school, nothing mattered to him except that he should make friends. Once I began interacting with him I realized he wasn't just some normal boy, he was one of those people who cared for everyone no matter what. Although I didn't spend a lot of time with him in school at night we would have long chats about anything and everything. He was my friend, my competitor and my angel.
As long as I live I will go on telling the story of a boy who no matter what fought to his final breath. No matter how many fights you have or how many times you disagree with someone don't say you hate them. If you loose them your words will haunt you the rest of your life.. I feel blessed to have had at least a few months with Shivaan.
So please remember to forgive and forget because if you don't you may regret it. Write me whatever you can just let it be about love, friendship and happiness.. Tell me how much you love your friends and why?'
This is a beautiful poem posted for my friend and yours!
Do not Weep
Do not think of me and weep...
I am with you still, I do not sleep .
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift rush, of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night,
Do not think of me and cry...
I am with you still...
I did not die.
