I Was Just Reminded
I Was Just Reminded

I was just reminded
Of graduation long ago
It happened on this evening
Many seeds we had to sow
One and fifty years have gone
Doesn't seem that they have passed
Since we stood there in our caps and gowns
My the time has gone fast
Classmates left and went their ways
Opened up new books of life
Some married their young high school loves
Became a husband or a wife
Others off to college went
Some heard their country call
Work was another option
Not the same for one and all
We've reached this day whatever path
And for the ones still left
Our books of life still open
Closed for those gone we are bereft
Hope your lives were satisfying
That bad memories were few
That life now is fulfilling
That happiness is there for you
That you're glad to rise each morning
Make the sun shine every day
Even if it's cloudy
That your light will show the way
