An Ode of Gratitude

This is a poem a friend wrote for me...

“Write a poem”, in natural tone
You said to me thru’ the phone
Though with awe I do respond
A POEM and ME!! Not so fond.

Lying down with my plastered leg
I searched for a theme for your blog
Slowly like clouds, pieces gather
With magical words put together.

I fear my poem shall be lost
In the crowd of blog it may rest
All my feelings close to my heart
I am jotting down with sincere note

Is it Affection? Gratitude? Or Fondness?
I asked myself in deep stillness.
Many a time I feel I’m grateful
But I feel it’s a mixture of all.

Putting others before yourself
Giving time and smiling help
Expecting nothing in return, you act
Rarely seen, it is a fact.

For all the help you showered so often
With a sincere heart and feelings plain
I thank my God for giving a friend
And let the bond flow till the end.
