You are a good friend of mine If I am ever stuck in a mire You are someone whom I can count on Never will you pull a con A wonderful colleague you were For me, were you always there!
You are a good friend of mine Those days, do I dearly miss When we used to meet almost everyday Swap tales over a piping hot cup of cutting chai Share our respective work issues Including the routine salary delay excuse And the antics of our clients For which, were we forced to bear the brunt Have lunch together at the cafeteria The perfect panacea For all our work troubles Which often came in doubles and triples And last but not the least Walk to the station together after work Well, our being colleagues certainly came with a lot of perks!!
You are a good friend of mine By nature, are you very kind And have supported me always Thanks to you, do I possess some sort of patience Whenever things don't go my way Friends, will we forever stay And though we don't meet often We do speak over the phone frequently And these calls are usually lengthy But yes, we should indeed meet soon For me, is your company always a boon I repeat, you are a good friend of mine And If I ever feel alone I know that I just need to give you a ring Because you are a fantastic human being!!
Poem dedicated to Rishi, a good friend and former colleague of mine.
