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.
