forever friends

when your arm was strong,
your legs sturdy
you could throw a ball
fifty yards across a field
arcing in a tight spiral
into the hands
of a boy running fast.
it was easy, thoughtless,
how green was the grass
back then, the blue skies
of morning, as we gathered
in boyhood joy,
this group of forever friends.
