Hello

Amazing to hear
From an old friend
After a long silence,
The query from the past
Hello how are you?
What has happened
In your life?
Contact after so
Many decades apart
Seems like a little
Taste of past times,
A remembrance of
Another time and place.
A chance to get some
Perspective on ourselves
Looking back at what we
Were and now have become.
A delight to know our old
Friends are well and happy,
Their lives full of family
Careers and a whole
Lifetime of collected
Memories since we
Once knew them.
Strange the paths
We have followed
Unaware of each
Other yet both
Happy to meet
Again after
So many
Years
Apart and
Still friends.
