Birds of a Feather

The little pub was quiet,
the waitress in repose,
but I needed some hot coffee 
and a chance to warm my toes.

As I sat, content to sip my cup,
the old crowd filtered in.
So happy just to reunite
and see old friends again.

A glad hand here, a how you are,
a word about the weather.
Not important what we say or do,
just glad to be together.

We dispersed then, a bit refreshed,
another day to face.
The world without our loving friends
would be a lonely place.
