Meeting Old Friends

When you meet with old friends After months, even years, There is comfort in having No need to switch gears. For the groundwork’s been set And the basics are known, So there’s just catching up – How the grandkids have grown! But most likely you’ll talk About health or its lack And the surgeries done On the hips, knees or back. There’ll be notes to compare About travel and shows And each exercise class And acquaintances’ woes. Still, it’s lovely to spend Time together again. There should be a repeat, But who knows where or when.
