I long my old collegue <br />Neighbors and friends <br />The places and spots <br />'Hide and seek' where we were caught <br /> <br />We had no inkling <br />Where will we be going? <br />What shall be our destiny? <br />Whether we may meet again or not <br /> <br />One thing was sure <br />We were close and secured <br />Nothing was separating us <br />We were one with full trust <br /> <br />We had no one religion <br />Yet we participated often <br />In each others function <br />Built up very close relation <br /> <br />The festivals brought us near <br />We had no fear <br />Only future worries us more <br />We discussed it often therefore <br /> <br />Today I look back and slip into memory <br />The friends were so many <br />But only few were invading often <br />They were special even<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-old-collegues/
