Old Friends

You pick up where you left off
Though a year or two has passed,
For what you have connects you
In a way that’s meant to last.

You laugh, break bread and catch up
On the things you didn’t know,
Share pictures and tell stories
And when it is time to go…

You hug and say goodbye, assured
That all of your affection
Confirms that in your heart
They’re in the permanent collection.

There is nothing like a friendship poem; they come from the heart. This one is a delight Ilene.
