The New Normal

 

Had lunch with an old friend today

So cute, so smart

She had big news

An unlikely positive result

From what originally looked very sad

 

She was relived

And freed

And looking so swell

Ready to get back to life

 

We covered so many topics

Kids and college

Trips and travails

It was really nice

 

It was normal

Just so normal

We just seem to click

Time just flies by

 

It’s the new normal

I don’t know why it works

It’s just different than with most

 

I guess we know the same folks

Can share the same gossip

Respect each other’s opinions

And just seem to keep it moving forward

 

The connection kind of comes and goes

Depending on who’s where

And what’s what

 

But I like it-

The new normal

Fits just right
