Friendship
Weekends full of friends
Friendship filling the hallways
With laughter love and kinship
That outweighs forgetfulness
Photographs of days gone by
Of children all grown up
Nappies teething rings and toddlers
Transformed by the years
Into brilliant young men and women
Fulfilling their own dreams and spaces
Reminding us we are getting old
Laughter transforming our hearts
Filling our souls with love
The ghosts of our youth
Hidden by the wisdom of those stories
Gently moving us into maturity
Like a good red wine or an old red rose
Beauty abundantly residing within
The arteries of our hearts
This is a really beautiful poem, Kate. It conjures up so many images and I too am proud of the “brilliant young men and women, fulfilling their own dreams and spaces” – and the enduring love. The circle of life 🙂 xx
