The Secret Keepers...

She held him close to her breast,
whispering in his ear, her anxiety put to rest,
fingers pressed against her lips, she smiled,
"Shhhh..Dont tell anyone", was the meaning implied...

Little did the child realise what had transpired,
"I, The Secret" was born, "I", who his mother fathered,
As the child hid "me" inside his innocent smile,
"I" gave him friendships that will last many miles..
He now was one amongst them, whose "I" was the postilion,
"The Secret keepers" they are, a guild of many killions....

Spread around us, to cheer up our lives they try,
give us their shoulder when we so wish to cry,
friends, foes, family, they house them all
,they are always there for us, be it summer or fall,
In them we place all our trust,
lest a day comes, when the bubble goes bust...

They are the pandora's box, they are it's keys,
A life without them, a lonely boat in the open seas,
At times we fear, the faceless traitor amidst them,
Trust us, they say, Don't let that fear stem...

As I bid goodbye to all my unwanted fears,
assured my secrets wont flow, even in their tears,
I Thank god that I am not a solitary reaper,
for I am blessed with a hundred thousand "Secret Keepers"...
