Today I called you boss...

Hello, it's nice to see you again,
It's been such a long time. I know you've made it big. I'm very happy for you.

I hope your life is not just about being a leader, that would be so sad.
So I must ask you a few things I need to know:

Do you remember when we talked and laughed and sometimes even cried?

Do you remember when I held your hand
when your life as a new Dad was to begin?

And do you remember now, my friend, the first time you became the leader of others, you were scared, nervous, but kept your cool.

When others weren't looking, you whispered to me, "I need your help!" I taught you things that you would have to know.

But the hurt I felt today when you told me to call you "Mr." was too much to bear. I hid the hurt and tears in my eys. You will never know.

Life changes, friendships begin, freindships end..

How said our friendship is at an end, and all because...today I called you boss

Excellent points well-made, Mary. Throughout my career, I was fortunate to work with "superiors" who were respectful of me and valued me as an individual and as someone they knew could contribute. Throughout my career that is, until the last "leader." He drove me to early retirement. I can relate to this. Well done. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I suppose I'm cynical in my aging years, but there are so many times when friendships are so onesided. I think that those who need the most are least apt to give--even a simple thing called friendship.

The many twists and turns in life can either begin or end a good relationship, very creative and imaginative.....

Be always safe,
Karen
