OLD FRIENDS

We keep old books upon our shelves revisiting our favorite story lines

We love to watch old movies…and drink a fine old bottle of wine…

 

Our old jeans are our favorite…we fit in them with ease….

and we cherish our old friendships with their host of memories.

 

When we see old friends approaching…our heart seems to ascend…

for how wonderful to be embraced by the arms our old friends.

 

We sit and laugh and reminisce….of other times…of other days

and before we know it we’re young again…time has all but slipped away.

 

We spend the evening remembering…retelling stories we already know…

The evening, like life, flies by quickly…where does…where did…time go?

 

And when it’s time to say goodbye…we’re sad this moment ends

as once again we are embraced by the arms of our old friends…

 

And that embrace will have to last…until such time as when….

 

we all come back together…and old friends embrace again.
