Who Can Be A Friend, Philosopher And Guide Ever? Poem by Ramesh T A

Friend only, of all in the world, will be by the side of one at critical moment in life;
Life shows all kinds of persons to know and select the correct one as friend;
Friend in need is sure one in deed and also points out flaws, of all who flatter;
Flatterers are the ones dig one's grave remaining always behind one in life!

Life is full of best persons, icons and also great books full of ideas ever;
Ever of all men or so called friends, only books with useful tips help as friends;
Friends by way of books help and guide one in life to come up rather than as men;
Men may come and men may go, but book only as friend help till end of life!

World is a great teacher like Nature serving as friend, philosopher and guide;
Guide only knows full details of a place showing all to tourists there sure;
Sure only a friend of such a calibre can be of great help by advice and action;
Action by a friend is more important than mere words of advice of a philosopher!

Philosopher tells truth, guide shows the correct route and book as friend opens eyes;
Who can be such a friend, philosopher and guide to one other than God ever?
