A long breath of accumulated years <br />Has sustain each day as lives veered <br />Taking pathways to the unforeseen <br />Following fragrant flowering dreams <br /> <br />Our fiftieth class reunion marks the occasion <br />How has distance altered the equation? <br />Smiles abound with freely given embraces <br />Recognizable voices give light to familiar faces <br /> <br />Amazed by high school sweethearts still together <br />Married all these years…reflecting one another <br />Conversations revolve on the harmonious carousel <br />Past and present unite and simultaneously dwell <br /> <br />Sharing talk of whereabouts and growing families <br />Sharing blessings as well as overcoming tragedies <br />Attentively listening as seasoned old friends narrate <br />Remembering with a tribute…departed classmates <br /> <br />All united under the canopy of a vast star lit sky <br />Reminiscing joyfully before former teens say goodbye <br />As I drive home… youthful voices resound in my mind <br />Suspended in a moment of time…where age is not defined <br /> <br />8/24/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/50th-class-reunion/
