Blue Eyes?

"Happy Blue"
for zona

i met a old school buddy last nite
of my brothers, it was by pure
accident, i went out to dinner
with my cousins and there he
was to greet us,
to bring us to our table,
as soon as i saw him i knew

i turned to my cousin and explained
who he was, that he graduated with
my brother and went to the same
grammer school we went to at
dear old "St Francis Xavier"

when i asked he said "yes i know
your brother and i recognize you"
"how i asked, it has been so long"
"your eyes he said, so very blue"

my blue eyes, so many see them
so many comment on them, yet when
i see me, the blue eyes are, well, just
eyes, not blue at all, as it is me

i always say, others always see you
different then what you perceive
yourself to be, and i have my
blue eyes to prove it, i have discussed
this with lynn d, when she blogged about
disconnect, it was just the other day

and the best, the old school buddy
of my brothers, we discussed our
teachers, the nuns, he named so
many of them, what grades they taught
us in, and i then remembered!
bon's blog on teachers just the other
day, i could only remember two, and
now i know more, he had pictures
of some of the priests at our church,
we reminisced

he owns this restaurant, i had no idea
that he did, i had lost touch with him
since my brothers school years, it was
a last minute choice to dine there, it
was not planned

two blogs, two incidents, i truly
believe as lovey does, there are no
accidents, everything has a reason
and happens for a reason

this is life, as we know it!
