REUNION-PART IV

(50th)

                                                                  

 From The Graduation Stage To Another Phase Five Decades Ago
 Great Expectations; Driven By A Vision So As Not To Go Astray
 Unbridled Enthusiasm, High Energy To Propel You On Your Way
 Numerous Opportunities With Unlimited Potential In Which To Grow
 Not Knowing What Each Experience Or Venture May Bring Or Sow


 The Past Fifty Years Have Obviously Taken Their Toll
 Some Have Been Enrolled In The Heavenly Scroll
 Others Have Survived The Uncertainties And Vagaries Of Life
 And A Few Still Live Relatively Free Of Strife
 But As Much As We Object, There Are Forces Beyond Our Control


 Talk The Present And Reminisce On The Five Decades Past
 Remembering The Good Times, First, Foremost And Last
 Cry At How Living Has Modified Enthusiasm, Diminished Energy And Affected Your Mood
 Laugh At Yourself, Your Successes And Failures And Your Dignity And Attitude
 Open Your Heart, Mind, Body And Soul To Make This Meeting Of Gold A Blast


 As This Reunion Draws To A Close With New Memories So Fond
 Lets All Look Forward To Our Next Meeting Of Emerald Or Diamond
