Cherished Friend

Is that by some odd coincidence ?
Or by heavenly desire ?
In these strange walks of life
We cross path with many people.

Some move towards us
Some move away from us
With some we share -
With some we spar

But with a special few,
We seem to have no choice
Who brings in cheers
And takes off our worries
Each has made an impact on the other
And their memories will live for ever.

It was not a choice of mine
And never even dreamt of that
Still by some unknown chain of
Succession of births -
We were bound to be met and -
To walk together on this earth
Few miles of our life, at least..
