My diary
My diary
My best buddy
Who notes my wails and woes
Smiles and laughter
Keeps them close to the heart
Never shares with anybody
Is my diary
My close confidant
Who records tidbits of my daily routine
Some secret rendezvous even
Guides me through thick and thin
Helps me learn and unlearn
When I am stranded and lose grip
Is my conscience keeper
My trusted diary
When I flip through its pages
I get to rummage
Pleats and folds of gone by whiles
The bittersweet memories
Flash before my eyes
And I relive those moments lost to time.
