The village road friend



To this way I did not intend
Instead I took road with the bend
I don't know why I had to pretend
Just Because
I was trying to make a friend ??

Take it easy, take it slow I said
As nothin's goin across my head
On the big fat highway as I sped
I realized
I should have the village road instead

Life can be as long as you want it to be
Some can live a hundred years
Yet others can live only a sixty
To love myself is my foremost duty
Then why not slow this life in the city ??

While I found the city life a wonder
And I couldn't resist
Its excitement n thunder,
I found the rustics nice and caring
Then Why not have the happy way ?
Why should my life be so daring ??

To this way I did not intend
Instead I took road with the bend
Now I don't want to pretend
Because I know …
How to make a good friend !!
