An ode to my best friend (Poetry)

An ode to my best friend

Owww you wonderful…
Is this life enough to thank you full.
In moments of grace and disgrace
Without any difference you did embrace.
I shared thoughts, apprehensions and attitude
Unhesitant you bowed down, listened making me pay gratitude.
Although you couldn’t cry when I did; you offered me you.
Although you couldn’t laugh when I did; I know you knew.
You lend a patient ear to my ideas and allowed me to explain
When the entire world rejected never permitting them to sustain.
In these days of cynicism and hypocrisy
Bending views is also considered holy.
But you my friend are no doubt a pure mirror
I write me in you, to come after ages to see myself without any smear.
Boy! I must say you also are one hecka-of-a dictionary.
Much in need for writers like me who have a bad reading history.
All these years although I used to everyday see you
Not even the best of prediction did say the greatest amongst friends would be you.
Always you communicate heart-to-heart, word-to-word.
Thanks for everything Dearest Windows Microsoft Word.
You are no doubt my open book
