MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND

My Childhood Friend

by Rizwan Ahmed Memon

I made you my fast friend,

But you proved to be a false friend.

They say friends cheat.

Did you follow the trend,

My childhood friend?

My wedding ceremony

You didn’t attend.

You left me

At the end,

My childhood friend.

I hope you’ll

Make amends.

And will be together

Till the world ends,

My childhood friend.

Whether you return

Or not, it depends.

I look forward to seeing you

On this weekend,

My childhood friend.

In your memory,

Poems I have penned.

I thought a letter

You will send,

My childhood friend.

Don’t bring this to an end.

Don’t be a fair-weather friend.

Lend me a helping hand.

Again call me your friend,

My childhood friend.
