40 Years

My father met his friend after 40 years

Oh the joy he felt when they recalled their college years

I teased them about their constant – Oh My God! After 40 years!

They said your generation might not remember anyone after 40 years

Now it’s ironic that I have found a number of old friends, you guessed it – after 40 years

The joy of finding them took me right back 40 years

So much change has happened in 40 years

But still a lot is same and easily recognised even after 40 years

Exchanging life stories covering 40 years

Rejoicing for the good times in the 40 years

Commiserating over the losses over the 40 years

Hope we keep in touch instead of waiting for another 40 years!
