THOUGHTS OF FRIENDS

My mind goes back to a place in time, not so far away,

A place of hills that once were, friends so dear.

Neighborhoods where those i knew settled behind windows,

They were once there, now they wander far and wide.

These memories are again in my head as the morning began,

Started with a message and a chat with an old friend Richard Paris.

A few memories shared about those good old days, some not of magic,

Remembering school, sisters slumber parties, parties with friends.

Thoughts of friends from a town so close to me but yet so far away,

Always a thought, something great and wonderful about Yorba back then.

My time with friends, an Ice cream, skating, messing around in the hills,

Football and baseball, basketball after school or on a Saturday afternoon,

My thoughts of friends, written down, i remember you now and then.
