Few lines which came in mind for my dear friends here:
If you remain standstill, I’ll move first towards you,
If you put forward your one step ahead, I’ll put forward my two steps,
If you extend your one hand towards me, I’ll extend my both hands,
If you lend me your helping hand once, I’ll do it twice for you,
If you offer me one rose, I’ll offer you two,
If you offer me one chocolate, I’ll offer double of it,
If you reply to my discussion once, I’ll reciprocate the same, and
If you post a comment to my response, I’ll post a counter-comment. If you acknowledge my efforts in your discussions, I’ll do the same for you.
Just be my friend, I’ll not disappoint you under any circumstances.

Hello! Rose! I'll have to but agree with you that there is something hidden in mylot - which sometimes prompts us to say something in poetary. You are very much right - I do not write much poetary. Perhaps, it is my first attempt to write something - which look like a poem - here on mylot. I did not attempt it earlier, because I cannot write poems.....LOL!
I promise that I'll remain true to my words to my dear friens and they will not repent ever, once they are my friends.
Many thanks for the good luck.
It is nice to know that you wrote a poem for dear Mayka - as her birthday present. You are an expert, you can write anything under the sky. Keep it up!

Rose08, you are absolutely on the dot, I fogot to mention it that I will definitely shower my friends with all kinds of praises and sweet words that they will start feeling on the seventh sky. (I suppose, I cannot add this point to my discussion, at this stage). Many thanks for reminding me. So nice of you.

I know when I extend my hand you will be there to hold mine
I know when I am in trouble you will be there to give me your advice
When you offer me two roses I will be there with a bouquet
Even if you do not reply to my discussions I will always respond to yours
If I offer you a chocolate......well that is a little unlikely because I dont share my chocolates......ask for anything else pls......
[b][/b]I must have been born under a lucky star ,
to find a friend as nice as you are.
I will follow the rainbow to the end ,
if you promise to remain my friend !!! [b][/b]

You stole the show with your poetic reply and made me speechless. I'm falling short of words to appreciate your wonderful and wonderful reply.

Ok, I don't write poetry...so I can't reply in kind.
But I have to say that I have made a few wonderful friends here....who I can turn to and open out my heart when I want to. I'm sure you know who all I'm talking about.
As far as you go, I know you are a strong person whose shoulders are there if and when I need them. You always come up with mature responses to my discussions.
Though I know it's not necessary, I'd like to thank you for being there when I needed and also for trusting me enough to come to me when you have a problem.

I'm good...lol...I will be busy till my little one is a little older and as long as I am working at this school.
I was wondering if I need to quit next year and just take care of my son ....but my husband says continue working. Now I am in a dilema....I've even informed the Principal that I want to quit next academic year...not because I don't like the job (though there are some other politics) but because I think my son needs me after school hours (more than he is getting right now).

It is really a difficult question whether to quit the job for the sake of your son. I would go by your choice, it is better to look after your son, job could be found later on, when he grows older. In his growing years, he needs you more than anyone else. Think it over - which one is more important at this stage - you son or your job and which will benefit you in the long run.

Hi! SV! LOL! No need to respond through a poem. Your each and every word says lot about you, your nature, your attitude and your positive approach towards your friends. I believe friendship and mutual trust between friends are the greatest gifts of God, because we can turn to our friends, when we are in trouble and need their help and vice versa.
Many thanks for sparing your valuable time and sharing your thoughts with us.
Deepak
P.S. - How are you? I was remembering you. Are you still busy?

Hi Deepak, You just proved me that you can't disappoint any of your friends. I think all those are really lucky to have you as a friend, including me. Your friends don't need any assurance by words because you are doing it practically. This assurance will helps to get you more and more friends so I am happy on that way. I would like to assure you also, any help from my side. God blesses you with lot of goods friends.

dpk thats so beautiful. thanks so much thatreminds me of
what happened to me tonight. I had dinner out with three of my very dear f riends as I am moving away six hundred miles in a few'days. my best friend drove me home to my apartment, and she was a dear. the tree people had chopped down a lot of branches and left them lying all over the lawn. I always climb up the lawn rather than use the steep steps as there is no hand rail there, I have a bad leg, anda shoulder joint replacement from a fall, so am deathly afraid of those steps. So she stood on the step above me and took my left hand and I managed to climb up these steps without any mishap. she is an angel, my best friend, and I will miss herso much. I will need to findsome new friends when I move. this is so p;ainful to me.

Hello deepak! There are thoughtful words. It really describe the true meaning of friendship. You know what I am thankful for? Because I met such a nice person like you. Eventhough it's just a cyber friends but you showed your true "you" and you let your friends here felt how you value the friendship.
Anyway, did you just made that up?

[i]Thank you, friend, for all the things
That mean so much to me--
For concern and understanding
You give abundantly.
Thanks for listening with your heart;
For cheering me when I'm blue;
For bringing out the best in me;
And just for being you.
Thanks for in-depth conversation
That stimulates my brain;
For silly times we laugh out loud;
For things I can't explain.
For looking past my flaws and faults;
For all the time you spend;
For all the kind things that you do,
Thank you; thank you, friend.[/i]

So sweet of you to dedicate the poem for me. You can add even ten star - four stars I gave you based on a Hindi saying.
I was as it is, I am as it is and I'll remain as it is, this much I can assure you, there is no question of change.

Really Dpk, your assurances are very nice! One thing I may put here is whether these are only the expressions of your mind, converted to a myLot discussion or you are rightly going to act upon it?
The fact is that reason has to be followed by good vision, vision has to be followed by good decission, decission has to be followed by good action and this action must be always Physically, Mentally and Heartly that is in PMH mode. This only determines the path of real achievement! And people always see the achievers!
Thanks for this nice disussion!

You will have to believe me that my assurances are not just for the sake of discussion, I belive in fulfilling my assurances and I put lots of efforts to implement the same. All three modes physical, mental and heart are in 'on' position from my side to fulfill my assurances.
Many thanks for such a beautiful and logical thoughts on your part. I am really impressed with your response.

Hi deepak, looks like a poem .....lol.......but I hope you don't mean what you write . Reality of life is different from imaginations in books.
Sometimes you cannot promise that you will always be Mr. Goody goody........Life is difficult game....you will never know when and how you will have to work against your will and wish. Also let me tell you that when one is too good, then others start taking advantage of such person and then comes a day when this nice person gets smarter and knows exactly who deserves what????. You see there should be balance of behaviour ...Hope you are understanding what I am telling.....we should try to be good, but don't have to go out of the way to please every xyz........you don't have to be as innocent and humble as your avatar.....

Don't take my reply so seriously deepak, I just want you to be careful. I was like you once upon a time, but you see today I am a different person. I just wrote my experience of life....I am sure you have taken right decisions and you will always do things that will please you. You have to listen to all deepak, but you have to do what you feel is right........so cheer up.......you are doing just fine.....you don't have to change because I wrote something.....

Your reply appears like a stern hidden and serious 'warning' to me, as far as my approach towards my friends is concened. (I'm feeling nervous and jittery to read your response). I know sometimes harsh realities of life prevent us from fulfilling or keeping our promises, yet we can always try something positive and think optimistically.
Do you wish to convey that others take me for a ride or will start taking me for a ride, if I remain good to them?
I do not go out of the way for every X, Y or Z to bail him or help him out. I try to do it to those of my dear friends, who deserve it and support me in my thick and thin.

[i]Hi dpk,
hahaha...what a nice message and composition! Very true...Anyway, in my case, I understand also why some of my friends are not in my post, maybe they cannot relate and cannot contribute and also maybe they are late with their notification and also not all of them are here longer so, there are really a lot of reasons for us to consider but it will always bring us smile when we often see them in our post!
ENjoy and thanks for sharing this wonderful thoughts![/i]

Surprisingly after 4 months this post of yours top in my friends started column which prompted me to reply. Really dpk, didn't know that you can be so poetic and the poem you wrote is so catchy and soothing. It is not surprising to see that you have magnetized the ladies here with your poetic approach.LOL You sure have made everyone special with your words of praise. You melt the hearts of all the fair ladies....but remember the special other waiting at home.

Zandi!
Let me clarify you first, how you could see my post in the coloumn "discussions started by my friends".............Actually, its credit goes to the another friend, who replied before your response, i.e. Aisa!, since she replied to the post now, the post became 'active' again and was visible to you..........LOL!
Zandi! You have floored me with your words, I am feeling speechless after going through your response.
I sometimes dare to attempt few poems and I feel very honoured if these poems are appreciated by my dear and sweet friends like you.
I cannot say myself that I have magnetized the ladies here...........LOL! (I feel shy to blow my own trumphet........you know I am very modest..........LOL!)
It is true that I try my best to make everyone feel 'Special' with my words, and.......it is you who told me that 'words' can do wonders........and I have only few 'words' to express my gratitude, appreciation and thankfulness to my dear friends, which I unhesitatnly use.........!!
Many thanks for such a wonderful response. I cannot ask more from you.........LOL!
