Gladsome Reunion, by Bitsy Caballero -- 9/3/006

 

Aye, if I could see you now

I would feel complete

As if some circle had been closed

Upon a lifetime sweet

But knowing you will gather there

and dance and laugh and talk and share

with mem’ries flowing everywhere

for all of you it will be neat

 

Oh, well.

 

Gosh, if I could be there now

I wonder what you’d think

Where has the young girl disappeared

The time seems only like a blink

You often filter through my mind

OHSers I left behind

Forever young and quite sublime

But all of us in sync

 

Damn.

 

Sigh.  Well, if I could be there now

I’d tell you what I know

Through all these years of history

How you’ve helped me grow

Because of you, my classmates dear

My eyes were opened, I could hear

And I could put aside my fear

To move through life just so.

 

Exactly.

 

But let me say how wonderful

Looking back with you to that time when

We were young and beautiful

guys, d’you how great it’s been?

But in my mind you’re still sixteen

Football jocks and beauty queens

How did I get so old?  Obscene!

But we’re still together, friend to friend.

 

 

So

 

Even though I can’t be there

To laugh and talk and dance and share

I’m there in spirit, and I care

And wonder why it’s not so fair …

but

We each accomplished much and more

And there’s still a lot for us in store
