My
mate Raj owns a shop,
Where
I occasionally stop
To
stock up on groceries
While
saying pleasantries;
Behind
the counter he’s sat –
We
often have a small chat
Mostly
about our finances
With
its many grievances.
He
has split from his partner,
And
now he does sadly suffer
As
he still lovingly loves her
And
wants to get back together.
Raj
is religious and is a Sikh
Offering
philosophies to reap.

I enjoy socialising with Raj, as I studied religion in Open University, so am familiar with his faith. And he respects Jesus and the Christian way of life.
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
This poem brought back a flood of memories of small shops that I have visited over the years. It's great that you have Raj for a friend.
