Since previously we have discussed our Mom's......this one if for my mom. She turned 70 last September. Now I must share a bit about why this so is incredibly relevant.
When my mom was in 9th grade, she became friends with the new girl at her school, Sarah Jane. I guess they were both around 14 or 15 years old. Now, 55+ years later, at age 70, they are still best of friends. Through thick and thin. Through their teens, through their twenties, through marriages, through raising their families, through the death of their spouses, they have remained friends. Now into the retirement years they have done some traveling together and their friendship remains an example to me of what it means to call someone a "friend"

Old Friends
Paul Simon

Old friends
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
On the high shoes
Of the old friends
Old friends
Winter companions
The old men
Lost in their overcoats
Waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city
Sifting through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends
Can you imagine us
Years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear
