The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Wine and Friends

 

Dear long-time friends, forever new,
No need for more than just a few.

Exalted status of “for good”
Grows deep roots since childhood.

As timeless ties that bind, embed,
Wild wondrous life still lies ahead.

If worlds apart for a playday,
Yet within reach, FaceTime away.

To share with ease while living through -
The good, the bad, the ugly too.

Past carefree times to reminisce,
Naivety of youth to miss.

The human bond, one of a kind,
Uninterruptedly life-timed.

Dear long-time friends – state of the art -
Stay up to date till they depart.

With well-aged wine I rise to toast -
To my fast friends, I cherish most!

Although she lived all over this world, my late wife cherished and visited her childhood friends (even though they never left Pont-y-pridd) until the end, so she would certainly agree with your poem! Aloha!

Truth! When you see old friends and you just pick up like there hasn’t been a large time gap in between. Nice!
