We are friends of the road-
With ebb and flow of time,
where we talk for hours aside
on topics lame or prime.
We talked of disease and its cost
of patients who missed the DoT,
we talked about systems apathy
And the numerous lives lost.
But hardly the bond touched a core
We willfully let it be
As the friendship was of the road
Where hearts and homes kept free ..
