Day 24: Your Favorite Childhood Book

Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson 

A book I read in sixth standard when I was 11 and it left a life long impact on me. I think I will blame that book for teaching me that it’s all about ‘giving and asking for nothing in return’ in friendship or for the matter any relationship. It taught me that happy endings are not important as long as you learn the lesson.

Until next time,  Live, Love, Inspire & (don’t forget to) Smile. Believe in yourself and you can conquer all your fears.

Friends Forever!

Something I always craved to tell you;
From the day one when we got through,
Indeed people like you are exceptionally few;
Never could imagine a person this true.

The way you make me laugh and smile;
Like no one ever does – in a unique style,
However time spent with you is worthwhile;
All I require is fulfilled with a dial.

Your support is a desirable need;
Thus world pays no heed,
The seed of friendship that we sowed indeed;
We’ll let it grow but never mislead.

I promise to never betray;
Always to walk by you– whether you’re near or far away,
Opposing every challenge by the world on our way;
Striving to reach the sky at the end of the glorious day.

Friendship demands naught but trust;
Do you know why is it MUST?
Protection of the chambers of heart from gluttony and lust;
A carefree bond which shall never rust.

This minute attempt may bring smile to your face;
Seeking it ubiquitously but couldn’t find any trace,
Walking to your heart with a great pace;
Perhaps chasing your splendid smiles to win the incredible race.
