Tom Fleece Poet Rhyme

HOME TOWN SCHOOL

UNDER THE CLEAR AMERICAN SKY
IN A SCHOOL WHERE FAR-OFF MEMORIES LIE
ENDLESS WAS THE HAPPY FARE
AT LEAST TO THOSE WHO ONCE LIVED THERE

SCHOOL DAYS SEEMED TO NEVER END
EXPERIENCES WITH FOE AND FRIEND
THE SMELL OF PENCILS, BOARDS, AND CHALK
THE TIMES WE COULD AND COULDN’T TALK

AUTUMN DAYS AND FOOTBALL GAMES
STUDY HALL AND BEST FRIENDS' NAMES
DANCES ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
KISSING IS SUCH A PURE DELIGHT

SUMMER WARMTH AND WINTER CHILL
TIMES THAT GAVE US SUCH A THRILL
SOMETHING NEW WITH EVERY DAY
LEARNING LIFE IN EVERY WAY

REMEMBERING YOUR FIRST GREAT CRUSH
THAT GAVE YOU SUCH AN LOVELY RUSH
WALKING HOME WITH BOOKS IN HAND
FEELINGS HARD TO UNDERSTAND

ALL YOUR SENSES YOUNG AND CLEAR
A FUTURE BRIGHT AND WITHOUT FEAR
A BODY YOUNG AND WITHOUT PAIN
ENERGY THAT HAS NO DRAIN

KEEP THESE THOUGHTS WITHIN YOUR MIND
AND TAKE THEM OUT FROM TIME TO TIME
THE FRIENDS YOU HAD ARE ALL STILL THERE
IN MEMORIES STORED WITH LOVING CARE
