Today we heard from old friends, newly arrived back in town.

We exchanged good wishes, recent news and tales of lock down.

 

A much welcomed diary date, arrangements made for Sunday.

Lunch and a long walk planned, so for good weather we pray.

 

This phone call cheered us up no end, coming out of the blue.

For three long months, an empty diary, filled with nothing to do.

 

So much we took for granted, such moments we now treasure.

These days it's the simple things, that brings the greatest pleasure.
