The simple joy
Of an evening spent
With two old friends

Two friends whose lives
Have intertwined
And accompanied ours

Two friends who shared
Our wedding day
(But sadly not with us)

Two friends whose children
Have become
The friends of ours

Two friends who’ve walked
Our joys and trials
As we’ve walked theirs

Two friends with whom
We can relax
And simply be

Seemed an obvious follow-up to the last couple of days’ poems. That’s not us in the photo though, surprisingly I’ve virtually no photos of just the four (or eight) of us. Thanks J&B!
