Friendless life is indeed charmless
Friendship anchors in troubled times
Fondly fathoms any ruffled wound
Fervently fights away melancholic mood
Exercise caution in choosing a good one
Never harbor an iota of suspicion from then
Ensure love & affection sans any expectation
Ever will stand etched, down the memory lane
Simple, true friendship centers on mutual trust
Seek at once to clear any shade of a distrust
Self-less response in harsh times is the thrust
Sure it will stand in good stead all the litmus test
Born thirty years before the Christ, spun verses
One thousand three hundred thirty apt couplets
Thiruvalluvar, Tamil poet of yore, devoted ten verses
True friendship one among the themes of virtues 😊 😊 😊
