I was upset
by friend’s appearances,
Even growing
more critical of me.
I ran across
an old VHS tape,
I’d
forgotten who we used to be.
One of my
favorite girlfriends,
Is bound to
a wheel chair…
Dave the
most eloquent friend,
Seldom
speaks but gasps for air.
Tony had the
envied physic,
He pinned
all wrestlers to the mat…
The losers now,
grey and wrinkled,
Tony
himself, incredibly fat.
I had a
thought this morning,
How much time
we actually weigh…
Somedays we
can tip the scale,
Remembering
every wonderful day.
