walking along the block not hurrying, not wanting to be sweaty
upon arrival, I should be there in 15 minutes so I reasoned
I took a turn around the block and, lo and behold, there she was
facing me. We were pleasantly surprised, taken aback in fact.
We stood still quietly looking at each other.
Then simultaneously we both lurched forward involuntarily and
hugged each other tightly just as it had been decades ago. The
utter shock of a chance meeting again was overwhelming. And

So much to catch up on - how thankful I felt
The appointment could wait!
Stolen my heart once
Tears flowed freely unexplained
Small things meant a lot
