Dear friend,

This letter expresses gratitude,

For the journey we have walked so far,

With you as steadfast solitude companion,

The misses many and the targets very few and small, far apart.

Yet very important that we miss to study.

 

Dear friend,

This letter expresses gratitude,

For the comradely strength,

Through this treacherous and arduous

journey of thousand hills,

Route flowered with frozen failed souls

That didn’t reach the peak,

Drawing strength through their visible failed endeavors is oddity of this journey.

 

We could’ve long stood down, bailed out,

And drank cyanide pill to self implode,

Yet we chose to draw strength and implore

our spirits to guard us,

Our ancestors to feed us success acetone,

Our hearts indeed grateful for hope,

Hope of future overcome and celebrates.

 

Dear great friend,

In the companies of warriors of many,

You have offered that for thousand times,

For my often fragile and lethargic soul,

That in many opportunes

has tempted to give up,

Yet you offered unending resolve,

In times of enemy engulf,

You provided shields and armaments,

To obliterate what enemy stood before us.

 

Journeys are indeed very long and endless,

Battles and enemies many to overcome,

Yet we drink from your strength,

And slowly we walk and mow down obstacles,

Step in a time we will accomplish our aims,

Eventually our flags will fly.

 

Here,

Thank you for companionship,

And voice that trembles with wisdom,

After so many fires that cindered,

Afresh we had to start; and from zero we had to hope;

We plodded along in hazy fogs, torrential rains, cold winds and blazing fires,

We shivered with dying spirits of hopelessness,

Yet I couldn’t choose a better road

And couldn’t have asked for a better friend.

 

From the vantage point today-

Like satellites, we can watch the bloody trails we traversed from distant memories,

We always shiver in amazement;

How our resolves got us through thickness and doomed calamity.
