Friendship

My friend; it’s been a while. Let’s take a walk
down to the park we played at in our youth.
We find a bench; you tell me as we talk,
“The years have fled!” I say, “Ain’t THAT the truth?”

We reminisce; and laughter starts to flow
the way it always did for you and me.
The friendship that we started years ago
still sparkles in your eyes so beautifully!

the best kind of friendship. I have a few friends like that. Important for the young to make friends early on or they may never make effort. Happy Easter from David in NZ. nicely penned by the way.

There is nothing like a friendship, it is how all good marriages begin also.

Wow!! This is really superb :) It reminded me of the day when me and my friend met after a long gap. We turned the book of memories. A few years and many giggles. Loved it to the core :)
