Companion

I talked with
My old Pacific
Companion today.
She said she is busy
Doing stuff each day,
We chatted about how
Things were going and she
Said she missed me which
Brought back memories
I told her I missed her
Too but was glad her
Two helpers got to
Get her out of her
Big house more
And made sure
She got her
Meds and
Did not
Fall
Again. 
Strange
How a voice
We knew long
Ago can tell you
They miss you and
The tears jump from
Your eyes feelings all
The more poignant
For being without
Hope of having
What was lost
Ever regained
Still friends
But never
Again
Companions.
