Lunch Munch
Meet with a friend for lunch.
Eating salad greens and cut up fruit.
Talking and catching up on life’s quirks.
Look out the glass and watch ducks swim by.
I ask “How’s life?”
“No more kids,” says she.
“Kids all grown! All
gone! Bye-bye…”
Now’s my chance to be by myself.
Or not.
I wrote this years ago after having lunch with a friend. Sometimes when you go through situations in life you realize how much simpler your life can be after getting out of the rat race. People are always pursuing success but if you let go of some of the stuff in life that you can live without, it's amazing to learn how much more fulfilling your life can be living on less. The pursuit of happiness is guaranteed in our Constitution but how many people do you know who are truly happy?
