on Yash's birthday

Life is about experiences-joyful and sorrow,
So I need a friend to smile and cry with-today and tomorrow.
I wish to thank you for this and that,
But don't beat me for this silly poem with bricks and bat!

You took me out of a nut-shell self-imposed
and felt no insult for my taunts so bitter,
You took my side when everyone else me opposed
and helped me tackle some people lovable as litter!

If kindness and helpfulness were a treasure,
You would be a king Midas for good measure.
Why everytime do I like to talk to you for hours together?
Why can't I find an adorable friend another?

May god bless you with peace and joy till eternity
to make others' lives as happy as it could be.
And thank you for bringing me and life so near,
I hope our friendship remains like this-merry and happy forever!
