The Chat

What a lovely chat we had
The five of us together
We talked about this and that
Without mention of the weather

There were Fay and Chris, Elaine and Harold
And of course, there's me
Fay and I were already friends
We'd never met the other three

What a lovely chat we had
A charming reminisce
Of days gone by, simpler times
And old-fashioned things like this

We talked about how life has changed
From bygone days we'd known
And the sometimes sad and happy experience
Of living on our own

We chatted about computers
Optic fibres and the like
Cars and trains and aeroplanes
And remembered our first bike

What a lovely chat we had
Sitting in a ring
We talked about new skill we'd found
And that sort of thing

We discussed technology
And religion too
When the time was running out
We found we had similar points of view

There will always be change
Things don't ever stay the same
Only God is constant
And in his holy name

That we find security
In his loving care
He was and is and will be
Everlasting there

What a lovely chat we had
New friendships can be found
By the oldest means of communication
We have found a common ground
