Ode to Old Friends

Old friends

The ray of light

Slicing through the gloom

Of a thick fog

Old friends

Bringing back memories

Of times gone by

Of laughter shared

Of no tears spared

Days, weeks, month, years

Cannot dull the connection

Put out the fire

Or hide the joy

The separation

Time, space, distance

Life’s trials and tribulations

Responsibilities that we all undertake

Whatsapp, Skype, Facebook

Email and text messages

Our weapons of choice

Needed to stay in touch

To all my old friends

Where ever you are

You are cherished and loved

Till we meet again
