To Dena, Diana, Franny and Gilly – love Jo
Privileged, is a word that springs to mind to describe how I feel today
In the after-glow of what has been the most wonderful weekend away
Privileged to have found in life some truly wonderful friends
Who’ve remained a constant strength in life through all its twists and bends
Content, is another feeling seeping over me
These last few days have made me feel I am where I want to be
Unusual, for I’m sure it doesn’t happen as a rule
That five grown women have kept in touch since their early days at school
Amused, it has to be said that we really laughed out loud
Our fun-filled sunny weekend did not have a single cloud
Lucky, that all went to plan without a single hitch
But then with women of our calibre, why would there be a glitch?
Memorable, it surely was in our life a special page
A fitting and a worthy way to mark a very special age
So I’m thankful for your still being there, it’s really good to know
That I have four such fabulous friends as we all hit the big Five-o!!
