Not too long back I had a friend ,
Whose smile I know I shall never forget ,
He could make this world a lively place ,
Smiles hid all pain on that innocent face
His eyes were kind , happy ,and full of life
Overflowing with joy, never scared of strife
His heart was pure , and so unstained
His spirit free , never knew restraint .
His mind so free without a care ,
His thought flew high where angels dare
His words were kind, so sweet , so pure
Like music that can heal, soothe and cure
But the winds of change , at him they tore
Re-sculpted his mind , his heart and his very core.
He seldom smiled , or spoke his mind ,
Seldom showed much care for his kind .
His friends grew few , and many were his foes
His words grew few as his pride arose.
Anger and pride consumed his very being
I Pitied the ailing soul , alone and devoid of all sheen
Now everyday I stand among my own reflections
And tell myself it's now or never ,
Change now my friend , before you are lost forever .
