20 years?!... where did they go?
…and all of the friends we used to know?
From to state to state to just down the street
the search was on, so that we all could meet.
One by one we have been found,
in hopes that we all could gather around
to share memories and stories from ‘back when’
and reconnect with each other every now and again.
Whether you followed your head or followed your heart
someone, somewhere has wondered ‘what kept us apart?’
…Wondered how you were, or missed your smile,
for that special person, they’d
have walked a mile.
If your asking ‘why didn’t I ever tell them..??’,
now is your chance
to mend the fences,
or ask them to dance.
Or if you truly
just miss your old friend from the past
How are they doing?.... you won’t know till you ask!
Right, wrong, or indifferent we are forever entwined
by relationships that shaped who we are… or kept
us in line.
The
families, careers and friendships that we treasure today
stem from lessons learned from the past that our lives portray.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it would be
this…
the memories of
high school seem more and more like bliss.
The halls of West High School are forever embossed,
with memories of us all where our paths crossed.
For those we remember that could not be here today
whether because of prior commitments, or miles, or have
passed away.
Remember them fondly
as part of our class, and your friend… or more,
take the time to reach out, none of us know what the future has in store.
A genuine THANK
YOU to those who took the time
whether creating a website, planning a reunion, or searching online
…or
sending in pictures sure to make someone smile,
those are your friends that would ‘walk a mile’.
