FRIDAY MORNING MEETINGS

Charts and graphs, numbers crunched, data analyzed,

Problems discussed,

Solutions sought.

Friday morning meetings.

 

Multi-colored paper serves the cold facts on a platter,

tracking lines up,

and bold bars down.

 

But on this day, I look to the side, then turn to look behind me,

To the men and women who represent the numbers and graphs of the

Friday morning meetings.

 

There’s Hugo and Danny, Mike and Ossi,

Joanna, Julian and Emil,

Real people whose lives and dreams, hopes and futures,

Depend on the success of the

Friday morning meetings.
