always there

the day I first spoke to you

you never sounded like a stranger

you were the first person, rather

to make me feel happier 

you created a zone of comfort

not only that I wanted, but also

that I lacked when I joined here

you picked me up by making you hear

you called me during mornings

to ask me what’s going on

I happily answered your calls

and turned my good days on

I shared with you all that I did

of my crazy hikes or biking trips

you asked me if I really did what I did

including my half decent camera clicks

you empowered me to do more

and asked me to share with you more

you shared about it with your peers more

and made me meet people more and more

we met face to face on a fewer occasions

(precisely seven times in six years)

we’ve had hearty laughter on various things

and I always looked forward to such occasions

you always cared for your team

comforted us on many concerns

you were restless when something happened

and you ensured we’re all safe

I enjoyed listening to your stories

of your trips and vacations

I admired your thoughtfulness

of a wonderful life at large

I am amazed by what you are

a being in his wholeness

and people around you will always say

you’re always there…
