Friend, Philosopher And Guide

Let me say it aloud to the world today That you have been, you are And will remain till the very last whistle My Friend, Philosopher and Guide This is how I have seen you This is how I'd like to perceive you This is what I look out for and find in you Your whole personae has been so reassuring Your presence has been so profound You may be far or you may be close I know you are always camping around Frailties of all those men and women who looked upon you with hope were taken care of by your friendly fold you were always there with your support You lent your strength for nth number of times To me and to many others named and unnamed You were a light house or a beacon To peg imperfections and to bring perfections You have perfected the art of perfecting [Dear Sir, today is January 11, your Birthday and I dedicate this poem to you with humility]
