Voice

I pick up
My cell phone
And your voice makes
Me smile as fond memories
Of our friendship flood into my
Mind decades shared together or
Apart but time cannot diminish
My delight in hearing your
Voice ready for a good
Story and news of
What you have
Been doing
And I will
Share
With you
My life secrets
Assured you’ll guard
Them as I do yours at
Least until our next friend’s
Call to either one of us
Then all the secrets
Will cascade out
But only within
And among
Our own
Familiar
Group
Of voices.
