Our High School Reunions Poem by bobby beddoe

Our High School Reunions



Our tenth reunion was well-attended
Sadly, of course, we all finally departed,
Up till then,
The past ten,
Was spent just getting our lives started.

For our twentieth, not as many came home
Lost some along the way - as in rolling-stone.
Oh, but four teachers came,
Recalled us all by name.
This time they weren’t there to chaperone.

Now, the thirtieth, it did achieve its end,
Because our old friends we got to see again;
Lo, sad tears we cried
When told who all’s died.
To this day - still can’t the loss comprehend.

The fortieth doesn’t seem that long ago;
Again, we showed up, weather by air or auto.
To our home town
We did go down,
‘Cause we too much love each other to just let it go.

At our fiftieth we’ll get to see old friends,
Hope this time everybody attends.
Those we used to play,
We’ll see there that day
Once more before our high school class numbers thin.

Throughout our school years and up to the present,
Select Friends, angels for them, He has for sent;
And those now still,
We won’t see till
We go up yonder to where they all went!
