Why Do I Need Friends

It is only with friends this is possible

Alone I can ‘Say’ but together we can ‘Talk’.

Alone I can ‘Enjoy’, but together we can ‘Celebrate’.

Alone I can ‘Smile’, but together we can ‘Laugh’.”

That’s the BEAUTY of Human Relations.

The above lines are from Rabindra Nath Tagore’s poem

Here is the full poem.

 When I’m dead,

Your tears will flow,

But I won’t know.

Cry with me now instead.

You will send flowers,

But I won’t see.

Send them now instead.

You’ll say words of praise,

But I won’t hear.

Praise me now instead.

You’ll forgive my faults,

But I won’t know….

So, forget them now instead.

You’ll miss me then,

But I won’t feel.

Meet me now, instead.

You’ll wish you could have spent more time with me,

Spend it now instead.

When you hear I’m gone, you’ll find your way to my house to pay condolence but we haven’t even spoken in years.

Look, listen and reply to me now. Spend time with every person around you, and help them with whatever you can to make them happy, your families, friends and acquaintances.

Make them feel Special because you never know when time will take them away from you forever.

Alone I can ‘Say’ but together we can ‘Talk’.

Alone I can ‘Enjoy’, but together we can ‘Celebrate.

Alone I can ‘Smile’, but together we can ‘Laugh’.
