My very best
friends from high school,
Are having a
reunion tomorrow…
I’d give
anything to be there;
Decades of
memories to share and borrow.
We had
marriages, now broken,
Children
wiser from our mistakes….
We emerged
as perfect parents,
After script
upgrades and retakes.
My best
friends had a reunion today,
They gave me
a video call…
Seeing aging
faces one by one,
I got to speak
with them all.
Most said
they were astonished,
I remembered
everyone’s name…
I was
surprised, after all these decades,
Our friendly
bonds remained the same.
Feeling the
first chill of Autumn,
Their voices
warmed up my day…
Like the
Rolling Stone’s lyrics in high school,
“Well Love
is love, not fade away”.
Beautiful, Mike. I'm so glad you got to "be" there with us. It really is amazing how the bonds we created over 50 years ago are all still intact. I feel the same about you now as I did then. xo, Winona
