Old friend
"the person I knew some years now The one I got a complicated beginning with I remember clearly and deeply, even as he is about to leave Throughout the years , not much sense was made But he always was a good man with pride and care Concern lit up his face for his brothers the priorities were made. His worries the jealousy the shouts the restrictions, each causing a problem and a feeling that grew at heart I might not know how deeply he was hurt But now our paths part And each tries to survive in our simple or complicated way and might He is doing better, he raises his voice and his eyes shelter The plans his mind has made secure his future with word and each promise the pain he gets rid of and he wonders how the others are doing But never who could know what suffering lies underneath the stone. All the dreams and the hopes where shattered and he knew he had to live on the ground, and not travel the sky far above."
