GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #156

Don’t search for a good friend…..

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #155‘.

Good morning Friends,

Blessed are those who have good friends,
One, two, three, four or as many as tens;
Investment in money have doubtful results,
Investing in friends brings rich dividends.

Friends share with you a special bond,
To cheer you up they have a magic wand;
Many stay with you throughout your life,
Some close ones are with you even beyond.

They share your interests and many a mood,
They have the same liking in drinks and food;
They may have opinions different from yours,
They can be straightforward but never rude.

When chips are down friends stand for you,
Friends always know what you’re going through;
The whole world may lie shamelessly at your face,
Friends are the ones who are never untrue.

Numbers don’t make up for how true they are,
It doesn’t matter whether they’re near or far;
Just one loyal friend is sometimes much better,
Than of fair weather friends a complete reservoir.

Looking for friends, as above, can be tough,
They look okay outwardly but what’s inside stuff?
But, one method I have found that never fails,
Be a good friend yourself, that’s more than enough.

…..be a good friend.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
