Poem-revisited and revised

For my 50th blog I had written one poem (see portion below the line) as an ode to friendship. In view of some comments I've rewritten it and hopefully its a better attempt. :-)

I was strolling alone down a road
When someone came and started walking with me
Turning the long distance into a beautiful journey

I was sitting quietly by myself
When someone came and sat next to me
Not anymore I found spending time a difficulty

I was feeling sad one day
When someone came and gave me what I most needed
A big bear hug and a warm smile along with it

I was on seventh heaven another time
When someone came and listened to my secret
Promising forever in the heart to keep it

"Who is this I always find beside me?" I asked Him
Came back the answer "A True Friend"

This is my 50th post on my blog!!! So I decided to make it special by penning a few lines for all those special people in my life.... my friends. :)

Here goes:

I was quiet and I was shy
My friends came along and asked me why
They made me talk and heard what I had to say
Where would I have been without them today?

I was sitting all alone amidst strangers
My friends came along and everything became familiar
They made me laugh and teased me
Where would I have been without their company?

I was over the moon with exultation
My friends came along and joined in the jubilation
They thumped my back and celeberated my triumph
Where would I have been without their enthusiasm?

I was walking down a road heavy burdened
My friends came along and my troubles lessened
They gave me strength and gave me comfort
Nowhere would I be without their support
