Thinking of You…Always

A poem for everyone

Things are moving faster than before
Spending time with friends I’ve ignored
Families seem so distant
New relationships are resistant
Hardly a knock on the door

As the pace settles down to a crawl
I gaze at those pictures of us on the wall
The memories flow
When our lives were in tow
That’s when I reach for the phone to call

Hearing a familiar voice brings a chill
From the summer heat so relentless and still
I settle in close
As we talk and we boast
It’s like a cool breeze on top of a hill

Too much time has eluded us all
We agree and we promise to call
I remind you how we used to be close
Invite you to the house for tea and toast
“Let’s do it sometime in the Fall.”
