People make friendships

I'm collecting memories because already I need reminding. A lot has happended with the passing of last year and as I sat in the kitchen to record my memories and re-organise my blog post I came aross this poem - People Make Friendships, written on a return flight to England from Malta after my neice's wedding way back in October 2016. I remember meeting some guests at the wedding who recollected some events that totally escaped my memmory. Here is my reflection. Today I have undertaken some changes to the prose.

People make friendships

And stories too

Some recollect their memories

As sharply as they live

Others wonder who?

Or

Could I have been there?

Or

Who was it you said you were?

Reminiscing those times

When I was younger and

Somewhat shy and uncertain of myself

But you recounted a story

And it seems to me that I was there

Because you told me so

Perhaps you should know

Me too!
