By Dr. Archan Mehta
Poem: True Friend
I know you feel upset, my dear,
But, rest assured, your moody blues
Will not last forever. The tide will
Turn and you will feel whole again,
Friend. Please listen to me, for a change,
We can feel young again: despite the
Passage of time, we have the potential
To age like fine wine in the lush, green
Fields of Southern France. Kindly give
Me a chance to make it up to you. If
You cry, I will wipe away the tears
From your eyes. I will rush to your
Rescue and protect you from fair
Weather friends: they want to party
Hard and celebrate life at your expense.
But through the ups and downs, you and I
Will soldier on. That is why I created this song.
