PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

                           FIFTY YEARS

       Half a Century has passed since we stood together

       In the auditorium at the Clinton Town Hall

       Armed with diplomas and a lot of good advice

       We were ready to "go for it all"

       For fifty years we have celebrated

       With a reunion every five years

       An impressive number of classmates
       Have shown their faces with smiles and cheers

       What wonderful faces they are indeed
       Etched with wrinkles earned over time
       Some extra weight, perhaps a slow gait
       Yet we are all still in our prime

       We have witnessed the birth of a century
       Men walking on the moon
       Inventions galore and so much more
       Since that memorable day in June

       Wars and storms have been part of our lives
       Changes in nature we have seen
       What stories we'll tell to all who will listen
       Of these years of our lives and all that has been

      With fondness we remember
      Those who have passed away
      In recalling memories of them
      Their spirits are here today

      So, get those cameras ready
      Make a page in history
      For there never will be another
      Like the Class of "53"
