This poem is dedicated to all my friends.This is the simplest poem i have ever written but its got lots of meaning for me atleast.The second half indicates it well.Hope you like it.If not, maybe i could not convey my gratitude well enough...

My treasure

I LIVE BY THE RIVER, NEXT TO THE VILLAGE
WHERE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE LIVE ,
PEOPLE ARE GOOD AND FINE ,
WITH THEIR FAMILY THEY DINE.

IN THE NIGHT THEY SLEEP;
IN THE MORNING THEY PRAY
THEIR HEARTS ARE DEEP
FOR OTHERS TOO, THEY PRAY.

THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN
AND FOR ALSO THOSE WHO BRAY
THEY ARE BETTER THAN THE REST
I BELEIVE THEY ARE THE BEST.

THIS DOES NOT SOUND HUMAN
NOR DOES IT SOUND TRUE
ONLY IF I COULD
I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO PROVE.

I WILL STILL TRY TO EXPLAIN

THE RIVER IS MY LIFE
AND THE VILLAGE IS WHERE MY FRIENDS LIVE
WE TOGETHER NJOY THE RAIN
RADIATE THE JOY AND SHARE THE PAIN

MY FRIENDS PRAY FOR SELF
AND THEY PRAY FOR ME AS WELL
THAT IS THE SPIRIT THAT GETS ME GOING
THEY DONT EVEN NEED TO TELL

THEY ARE JUST AND FAIR
FOR EVERY HUMAN THEY CARE
SO CAN YOU FIND BETTER SOULS
WHO PLAY THEIR HEROIC ROLES

I KNOW IT STILL DOES NOT SOUND TRUE
AND YOU HAVE NOT BELEIVED
BUT WHO CARES ,WITH FRIENDS LIKE THOSE
I ALWAYS FEEL RELEIVED.
