Day 8 - A-Z - F for Friend

 As I sit by the table

Grub filling my gut

Spirits flow free

In liquids and essence

Descending abundant blessing

Upon this form

And then I cogitate

Over the count

Of these endowments on the existence.

How do I tally the ways?

That fortunes graced me

In mediums big and small

Tiny and tall.

To every one of you

That had called me a friend

For a moment or for years to no end

For a duration and for perpetuity

For picking up my untimely calls

Feeding my soul, when test befalls

Staying by my side in real and in linger

For enriching my life, my home, ,my living room, my garden

And above all my soul

With tales of laughter, 

Of love

Of presence and the Presents

Your friendship bestowed upon

This favored life.

I can string a puny verse

Offering this Universe

Lorry loads of flying kisses.

Just because

I had been the chosen one

To cherish your Fraternity.

Of all the blessings I have recieved

O Friend, you lead the list.
