A Special Class

A Special Class

Can a friendship last forever?
Is the question that I ask,
So many years have flown on by,
so much time has past.

Girls and guys who once were friends,
acquaintances and lovers,
are now grown up people,
husbands, wives  and mothers.

Still in our hearts and through our words, we travel back in time.
To renew old friendships lost, reunions so sublime.
We remember fondly, old friends we have lost,
determined to remember their lives at any cost.

We have not forgotten you, all of our dear friends.
You live in our hearts and thoughts till time without end.
Each of us helped create each other in some complex way.
We became one together as we grew each day.

We played and loved together, learning of  this life
We shared our unending happiness, our fears and our strife.
We shared the tears of lovers lost, never to return
We shared the joys of new loves found and of those we spurned.

We laughed and cried together each and every day.
Each knowing we were bonded in a special way.
For we are all graduates of a special class
Who will never forget, no matter how much time has passed.

Bonds of friendship yet unbroken through the passing decades
Remain as strong as ever as new ones now are made.
So to you my classmates from so long ago,
I say a fond hello and onward we will go.
