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.
