I overheard a conversation while eating lunch just the other day

When a stranger stopped and spoke the gentleman at the table across the way

He asked the elderly man about his hat that laid there next to his glass of tea

He said I can’t believe you’re still wearing that old thing, heck it’s older than me

The elderly man just smiled and said but it fits just right and is comfortable just like a lifelong friend

You know the one you’ve known all your life and run into now and then

The stranger smiled and said I know what you mean, as he slowly walked away

That quick I  remembered I saw my childhood friend just the other day

And like that comfortable old worn hat the conversation it fit just right

We talked and laughed at times gone by and then again we said good bye
