A Friend's Promise

I'll give you company when you're alone
   and speak loving words in a tender tone
I'll take away your anxieties and fear
   never allow you to shed a single tear
I'll give you courage when you're depressed
   words of wisdom when you're stressed
I'll give you laughter, reasons to bloom
   will try my best to end days of gloom
I'll give a big smile when you're in a jolly mood
   will lend a patient ear even when you're rude
I'll give you freedom to express your views
   with an open heart and purity of dew
I'll understand your feelings without a word
   because emotions are meant to be silently heard
they're supposed to be felt with warm sentiments
   our eyes stream out our emotional rudiments
I'll give you everything i say is mine
Today this bond of friendship I sign
I'll stand by you in storms and strife
And forego you when it's time to give up life!!!

Brother's Love

He lifted me from my mother's lap

And cuddled me into a warm hug

He watched me take a baby nap

And fell asleep on the matted rug

He took a pie and helped me eat

And held my hand for the first walk

I won a prize, he gave a treat

And sat there hearing my mumbling talk

We grew up and saw good times fade

Innocence vanished and even friends betrayed

His wrist still tied in the silken thread

He always stood beside paving the way i tread

Time passed, dawn broke and it my wedding day brought

With excitement was a fear of the world to which I didn't belong

He was still by my side and tied my wedding knot

And finally gave my fiance, my hand, he had held for so long!!
