Have Dinner with Friends

Have dinner with friends.
Their stories are your story.
Feel the air of contentment
when you listen with your
heart.

Sip from the cup of gratitude
knowing the connection is
real.  Get drunk on the
satisfaction that they have
your back.  Laugh until the tears
flow.

Toast to the simple day,
knowing that things can be
complicated.  Waste not
a moment for life is
sweet.

Hug them like you’ll never
see them again.  Honor them
like you will see them often.

Share a meal, and eat every
morsel of their life, their story,
for it is fleeting and
delicious.

Savor each course,  and each
conversation, knowing
their words are love…
knowing your relationship
will grow with each day.

Have dinner with friends.
