TWO OLD FRIENDS

In the nearly 200 countries in this world spread out across the 7 seas

how lucky are we to discover friends with whom to share our histories.

Two old friends decided to get together…they hadn’t sees each other in years

Will he remember me? one wondered…Will he recognize me? the other feared.

They’d both grown a little older…but doubts…they immediately overcame

because their eyes had that same sparkle…their smiles were the same.

They sat down and reminisced about the last time their paths crossed

Immediately forgetting all the time between them they had lost.

They talked about their childhoods, their children, their ailments…and more

remembering and laughing at good times they shared before….

And when they were finished…they walked away contented…each one giving thanks

for this time they had together…to fill in all the blanks…

To get caught up on each other’s lives…to renew their laughter…their friendship…

and then

parting with the knowledge…their paths shall cross again.

And glad to know in nearly 200 countries….across the 7 seas

they were lucky enough to find someone with whom to share their memories.
