A long breath of accumulated years br Has sustain each day as lives veered br Taking pathways to the unforeseen br Following fragrant flowering dreams br br Our fiftieth class reunion marks the occasion br How has distance altered the equation? br Smiles abound with freely given embraces br Recognizable voices give light to familiar faces br br Amazed by high school sweethearts still together br Married all these years…reflecting one another br Conversations revolve on the harmonious carousel br Past and present unite and simultaneously dwell br br Sharing talk of whereabouts and growing families br Sharing blessings as well as overcoming tragedies br Attentively listening as seasoned old friends narrate br Remembering with a tribute…departed classmates br br All united under the canopy of a vast star lit sky br Reminiscing joyfully before former teens say goodbye br As I drive home… youthful voices resound in my mind br Suspended in a moment of time…where age is not defined br br 82408br br Theresa Ann Moorebr br
