Walking and Talking

Today our old friend Gordon and his wife Sarah came for lunch.  Gordon was our best man at our wedding.  They live in a rural town in this area.  It was a time to chat and catch up with each others news.  We went for a walk on the farm and I liked this informal catch of the two of them

. . . How terribly strange to be 70
Old friends, memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears . . .


They won't be 70 until next year and how did that come around so quickly?
