POETIC GLANCE: POETESS JOLLY WRITES, BEST OF BUDDY

BEST OF BUDDY

I was there holding you by your side
When you let your paper boat row
I was there to feel your sensation and not blink an eye
When in ripples of water you let your feet sink
As the ripples amplified in a flow.

I ran with you and I hid with you
And when with dirty feet you sneaked in
So that Mom would not scold or frown at you
I put my paw marks on the floor.

It din’t matter, if she was upset with me
I was just happy that it wasn't you
When she kept me out for the night
I loved it when you slipped in your piece of bread for me
and said ‘I love you’.

I wagged my tail and I jumped in joy
Whenever from school you came and hugged me
I could even understand when you were down and low
Your every stage I followed you like a shadow.

You and I, we became the best of buddies
As you shared your joys and your sorrows
Pray, do care for all the kinds of me
Be they in good homes or in lonely streets burrow.
