Old Friends

Sitting at a table With a life long friend Remembering old stories That never seem to end We had great times together Way back in our youth Remembering the times When we failed to tell the truth We knew if the truth were known We'd have to pay the price Back then we both knew The punishment would not be nice Now, as the sun slowly sets On this warm and happy day Wishing it could last forever But knowing there's no way As this day comes to a close In the twilight of our years We both know what's coming But neither of us has a fear We have known for a long time What the next phase of life holds We are just very thankful We both had the chance to grow old 9-3-20/RjH
