There are a few
who just brings
happiness
and laughter to life.
******
Keep them close.
******
Long distance…
call them.
Time to travel?
Do it!
******
Keep them close, my friend.
******
Let loose,
lighten the soul
open up and laugh
at the antics around.
******
Keep them close.
******
Laugh out loud.
Laugh so hard,
to the point
where you need the restroom.
*******
Keep them close, for they are a gift.
******
Two souls,
shared memories,
a partner in crime,
even though we’ve aged.
******
Keep them close, everyone leaves.
******
The youth
listen and admire,
the shared
teasing banter.
******
Keep them close, laughter is medicine.
******
Old brains,
Reminiscing of old days,
where we too
made youthful mistakes.
*******
Keep them close, so the youth hears your history.
******
Gather the whole
gang that has laughed
many of nights
away.
******
Keep them close, because in sad times, they can make you laugh.
*******
Years will pass,
they will leave.
All you will have
is the shares shenanigans.
*******
Keep them close, laugh together when you can.
