Memories





Old Friends
by Raymond A. Foss

They meet after months and yet
The time melts away
And they are back in the swing
Ready to banter and bait
To play off one against the other
Of easy laughter and witty repartee
Easy smiles and quick jabs
To while away the hours
And drink in life again
As they do, as old friends do
With relish and a tall tale or two

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
~Albert Schweitzer
