Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Friends For Life

I change my friends the way others change their clothes.
Adding one sweater every tenth year or so.
I am in touch with two childhood friends I have enjoyed since grade school.
We cannot discuss politics or religion because we love each other
And we do not want that to change.
When we meet in person we turn into ten-year-olds even though
We have known each other since we were eight.
We still giggle about the dumbest things ever.
We are bonded for life because we know
So much about each other, confiding things
We could tell no one else. Trust cements us
Now and forever. We have a non-severable bond.
I call it childhood in a small town.

Tom Cunningham October 8, 2018 at 12:41 PM True friends are indeed priceless Caren. Tom Caren Krutsinger October 9, 2018 at 7:24 AM I have so many true ones, and I suspect some of them are on here, reading my poetry. Hint. Hint.

Line Gauthier October 8, 2018 at 10:28 AM Very sweet about a very special bond, Caren. Caren Krutsinger October 8, 2018 at 11:04 AM I cannot believe it but we all turn into 10-year-olds when we see each other.

Kim Rodrigues October 8, 2018 at 6:03 AM There’s the old friends and the new. One reminisces with you. The other moves you forward. Nice one, Caren! Caren Krutsinger October 8, 2018 at 6:08 AM True, for sure. All of my newest friends are pretty much in their twenties, so they keep me "fresh".
