A fiftieth reunion is one you should go to. You might be surprised. It is worth it. |
Reunion Our high school reunion happened last night My husband encouraged me to go I’m glad to see that after fifty years Everyone looked fresh and all aglow. My best friend Dawn who was a trend setter She wore make-up and clothes with a free style She married a man who soon ditched her And had to work in a store selling floor tile. Our bad boy Barry went into the Army In high school he found ways to get out of his work But one day he stepped on a hidden land mind And from a wheelchair could only do things as a clerk. Anita could never be happy Since love for her was always a mile away Her books are romance hot best sellers That are made into movies and even a play. Jim had an unfortunate home life we remember Everyone thought he’d be jailed and released He found something that lifted his spirit He got religion and became a loving priest. Next came the roll call for those who were missing The ones who answered our country’s call They were unforgotten and given due honor Each one in my own heart was standing tall. Our dinner and dance went by so beautifully I tried not to cry as I finally walked out the door I hugged each classmate with warm happiness This lovely reunion was better than what I hoped for. |
