To My Classmates


Most of us were on a first name base and to this
Day I can still see your face.
Some of us just passed in

the hall a smile and quick nod.
The head as we hurried to

our next class is I all I can recall.
There were others of you I

 never really got to know at all.
There were times when together we stood
Those were the fun times and they were good.
Pep rallies, Football games,
Sock hops and the proms too.
Drama club, Pep club, French club too
So much fun and so much to do.
Each year a big play production
We all did our part.
Drama, Band and Chorus
The applause of friends and family
Made it glorious
Four years together went by to fast
Then our graduation day was here at last
One last time together we stood and we sang
The school song, Oh boy did we sound good.
It's hard to believe so many years have pass
Soon we will gather for our 35 celebration
Has it really been that long since our graduation?
Together again we will laugh and yes we will cry
As we remember the days gone by.
We will remember with love the ones we have lost
They touched our lives in so many ways.
They are not gone they are just away
We have their memory in our hearts to stay.
It time now for me to end this little rhyme
Will the ones of you out there it who?
Read it please drop me a line?
