Parachute

There is this thing you have on your back,
Moments and times you find it troublesome,
Silly thing would take up such space

And would hover over your shoulder.

For when you soar up above the sky,
The thing will come to follow you,
& when you lose sight of the ground,
Fall into the sky of blue....

It is this thing,
Colourful stripe of yellow and red,
That bursts from behind you
Turning your tumultuous landing
To a panoramic floating bliss

That is the parachute,
A lifelong friend
One who invests much faith in you.

*To you, thanks for being my best friend before anything else. You're my parachute. & I, yours. Happy anniversary
