It Doesn't Get Better Than This
Someone I went to grade school some forty-six years ago
Dropped by to say a friendly hello
It's that smile
That bond that hasn't changed
We have both clearly gone our separate ways
Different lives and different professions
Something else I can't quite put my finger on
All that doesn't matter
A friendship that has survived many years
Under any test
It has clearly passed
With flying colors
In that moment
We bumped fists
In the age of Corona Virus
We both were pressed for time
I was busy at work
He had to keep the line moving
It was a gentle kindness
A feeling of simplicity
Nothing has changed
At the same time
We we live in a world of everything constantly changing
We both were fortunate to make it this far
Age is only a number
Moving on
Real friends have nothing to prove
Until next time
As we each disappear into the night

Gypsy Rose Lee FB and email are great ways to stay connected. Times have changed so much over the years. Penpals were the only way when I was young. An occasional phone call. Usually, they moved and changed their phone number too. Thank you for reading and sharing. Happy Friday.

It is great to meet up with old friends. My friends are scattered everywhere and occasionally we catch up on FB or through email.
