REUNION

So great to get together

After all these years 

I missed you all, so  very much 

It brings me close to tears.

——-

Some of us got married

Some of us divorced

Some of us still single

Some lives were cut too short.

——-

Many have had children

With babies of their own 

Grandparents, aunts and uncles

Some moved out, then moved back home.

———

The glory days behind us

Pain and sickness claimed a few

Some are now disabled

Some with scooters, walkers, too.

——-

Memories of the good old days

I loved her heart and soul

I went off to college

She acquired a band of gold.

——-

I married five years later

My wife has passed away

Found out her husband had died, too

If we spoke ….. what would I say?

——-

A tap upon my shoulder

A kiss upon my cheek

She  looked so very pretty

She still remembered me.

———

We drank some wine together

Asked her if she’d like to dance 

Two old fogeys …. out on the floor

Rekindling their romance.
