Our tenth reunion was well-attended <br />Sadly, of course, we all finally departed, <br />Up till then, <br />The past ten, <br />Was spent just getting our lives started. <br /> <br />For our twentieth, not as many came home <br />Lost some along the way - as in rolling-stone. <br />Oh, but four teachers came, <br />Recalled us all by name. <br />This time they weren’t there to chaperone. <br /> <br />Now, the thirtieth, it did achieve its end, <br />Because our old friends we got to see again; <br />Lo, sad tears we cried <br />When told who all’s died. <br />To this day - still can’t the loss comprehend. <br /> <br />The fortieth doesn’t seem that long ago; <br />Again, we showed up, weather by air or auto. <br />To our home town <br />We did go down, <br />‘Cause we too much love each other to just let it go. <br /> <br />At our fiftieth we’ll get to see old friends, <br />Hope this time everybody attends. <br />Those we used to play, <br />We’ll see there that day <br />Once more before our high school class numbers thin. <br /> <br />Throughout our school years and up to the present, <br />Select Friends, angels for them, He has for sent; <br />And those now still, <br />We won’t see till <br />We go up yonder to where they all went! <br /> <br />bobby Beddoe; Copyright 2010<br /><br />bobby beddoe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-high-school-reunions/
