wise librarian's voice echoed in his mind, "Remember, Timmy, the

greatest adventures are the ones you create yourself."

With a heart full of wonder and a mind brimming with

possibilities, Timmy knew that his love for reading had unlocked

a world of endless adventures. And as he drifted off to sleep,

Old Friends

Simon and Garfunkel

Old friends, old friends

Sat on their park bench

like bookends

A newspaper blown

through the grass

Falls on the round toes

Of the high shoes

of the old friends

Old friends, winter companions,

the old men

Lost in their overcoats,

waiting for the sunset

The sounds of the city

sifting through trees

Settle like dust on the shoulders

of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today

Sharing a park bench quietly?

How terribly strange to be 70

Old friends,
