Friends and family

Sitting in the sun !
Having me some fun !
Haven't been home for a year!
Lots of tears we shared !
Now it's time to cheer !
I'm even drinking a beer !
All the friends that use to be
Are here for all to see !
How much we've aged
I remember when we would sit out front
Getting drunk !
Some are still the same !
What can I say ?
It doesn't change the past !
For we always had a blast !
We all sit here and share our favorite stories !
And many memories too!
Some even pull out old pictures!
Oh the laughs we share!
Nothing could compare !
A few have passed away !
All were remembered today!
I will go to the cementary
Visit my mother and my father
Thank them each for a special gift !
My mother I will thank for giving me my brothers !
My father I will thank for loving another's children !
It's been 20 years since I moved away !
The deep love I have for my friends and family
Still feels the same to this day!
Here's to another glorious day!

How nice Laura.
It is amazing how all pretensions fall away
when we are with those from our youth and teenage years.
How we can pick up the thread of easy laughter together.
I love your rolling, rhyming poems, like this one.

Hi Laura, so you are with friends and family. It's always nice to be around the people you were always close to. It's also funny how everyone just sort of slips Into there space so easily. At least I used to find that to be the case In the days. As always, your piece just sings along.
Have a nice day. Catch you later. Your Friend always....MIKE.

There are places, people, and spaces,
I'll remember all my life.
And they bring me joy and sweet delight.
