Neelam writes a heartwarming tribute on DifferentTruths.com celebrating the profound, unspoken bond shared by lifelong childhood friends.
Their eyes are so penetrating
That they can disrobe
The deepest secrets
Hidden so well
In the innermost chamber
Of your steel heart.
Their noses are so big
That they can smell
All the blooms
Of happiness and sadness
In the garden of your life.
Their ears are so sharp
That they can hear
The lonesome tear
Which you have carefully lodged
Inside your eyelids.
And their touch is so caring
That without their speaking
A single word,
You know that
They have downloaded
All your emotions
In the pen drive of their souls!
