After 4 yrs away, I visited the un and spent four days with my oldest school friend, sat on his terrace overlooking the Atlantic and remembered, relived the highs and lows of 50 yrs friendship, of lost friends, friends lost to AIDS, our school friend HIV+ for 35 years - a real survivor.  Such moments validate life.

thank you mr V, again you have got me thinking. 

You are so right about these moments validating life.  I'm glad I got you thinking again.  Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment

A beautiful expression regarding one of the realities of life. Some leave us unexpectedly, and we are left behind to remember. Another lovely poem, Val. I found this one quite touching. Cheers!

Thank you.  I'm glad you liked it.

A touching refrain on life, loves and loss. A reminder of the things that are truly important!

Thank you!  It's easy to forget the important things until we get reminders like this.

I'm so glad I introduced the 'Hosen' to you, it resulted in some great poems.

Thanks!  Me too!  Whenever I think of the first poem, I picture Campino giving a middle finger to the sky as he sings "Wort zum Sonntag".  I think the last line of that song is my new mantra
