Old Friends
down memory lane.
Many old friends
gathered together.
These are the people
who I'm responsible to.
My heart is gladdened
to see so many again.
Crutches, a cast
fresh faces, liquid eyes.
Deep smiles and
sad tales to tell.
For a long week-end
together to sit.
To yarn and then...
they are gone home.

Uma who died about a month ago watches the snowy hillside from her vantage point.
