Poems by Joydip

Dear friend, on your birthday, I have a message for you:
Always remember, friends like you are rare and actually few.

You are amazingly sweet and so much fun.
Believe me, I can compare you with no one.

We have known each other for so many years.
We have gone through our share of laughter and tears.

We sometimes have arguments and differences of opinions,
Still we have been there for each other like true companions.

Our friendship has stood time's long enough test,
And I wish you always the very best.

Just remember, you are special to me every single day.
Don't ever change, please stay forever this way!

Do dare to dream your desired dream
No matter how impossible it may seem

Do not get deterred by what others say
Stay focused and you will find your way

But remember the road will not be easy, it's an uphill task
So be honest to yourself, and you need to sincerely ask:

Do you have it in you to do everything that it takes?
Like rising after each fall and learning from the mistakes

Do you have the patience when the road seems much too long?
Needless to say, you need to remain resolved and be strong

Do you have the courage to continue and endure?
When the outcome is unknown, nothing is for sure

Do you have the tenacity to carry on till the end?
For on that much of your success will depend.

You never say you love me
But your silence conveys a lot
Such is the beauty of your love

You never say you adore me
But the way you look at me shows a lot
Such is the beauty of your love

You never say you admire me
But your action proves a lot
Such is the beauty of your love

You never say you care for me
But the way you hold me close tells a lot 
Such is the beauty of your love 

You never say you cherish me
But your gentle kiss reveals a lot
Such is the beauty of your love 

You never say you'll always be there for me
But the way you hold my hand indicates a lot
Such is the beauty of your love

My heart doesn't belong to me.
You have its only access key.

Life is meaningful because of you.
Our bonding is priceless, always new;
Valuable you are, indeed precious.
Eternity is what I wish for us.

You hear voices of nature in a rooster's call
As if saying, "Hey, wake up all."

You hear voices of nature in buzzing of bees
As they gather around flowering trees.

You hear voices of nature when a dove coos
Or during midnight when an owl hoots.

You hear voices of nature in an ocean's roar
Or during a heavy downpour.

You hear voices of nature in murmur of a stream
Or when the hungry nestlings scream.

You hear voices of nature when leaves rustle
Or when the wild wind whistles.

Nature is neither mute, nor is nature silent;
Nature's sounds fascinate those who carefully listen.

I'm thankful to have you as my friend
You're someone on whom I can depend
You never fail to lend a helping hand
You care for me and also understand

I'm thankful to have you by my side
You're someone to whom I can confide
You never spill my secrets, nor ever lie
You are the one on whom I can truly rely

I'm thankful to know someone like you
A close companion, so faithful and true
You always appreciate me, never fail to praise
You also correct me in your gentle ways

I know you'll always be there for me till the very end
Because you embody the qualities of a true friend.

Dear friend, you've a special place in my heart,
And we struck a chord from the very start
With you by my side, everything feels so good
Every little thing you do uplifts my mood
Your sweet nature and your unique style
Make me happy and make me smile
You radiate such a happy and positive vibe
You mean more to me than words can describe.

Oh dear auntie, I love you so much,
You're someone I want to stay in touch,

You're generous enough and indeed wise,
You show how to live life without giving advise,

You never tolerate wrongs and raise a voice,
You show making life peaceful is our choice,

You're a good listener and show patience,
Empathy is your very essence,

You're free of bias and show respect -
Which is impressive from every aspect,

You're a good role model who can inspire,
And I think everyone should aim and aspire

To be kind, authentic and true,
That's why I dearly love you.

You're the sweetest sister I know,
I've seen you over the years to grow

From a cute child to a bubbly teen,
We then got tied up in life's routine

Now you're a lady with a mind of your own,
Still you're the sweetest sister I've ever known

You look beautiful, so damn pretty,
I find you cheerful and quite witty

May the Almighty bless you with love
And all the things you've dreamt of.
