News of Old Friends

Sudden news of long-lost friends

A glow of sweet nostalgia sends;

What happened to those youthful faces?

Life has put them through their paces…

 

Older, wiser, rough with smooth

How has each fared in his groove?

Well-travelled, widowed, or divorced

Some lucky ones have stayed the course!

 

Each soul has had his share of thrills

And, in his unique style, fills

Each chapter in his special way;

Reunions find them on display!

 

Our mind’s eye sees them as they were

With youthful hopes devoid of care;

Though time has left its tell-tale mark

For us, they still retain their spark!
