Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

I Was Just Reminded

I Was Just Reminded
By Franklin Price
6/4/2015

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
