Oh, Innocents
It seems more than a lifetime ago
Oh, innocents, how were we to know
Where our divergent paths would lead
How different our goals and needs
We come here tonight to revisit our past
Knowing well this moment cannot last
But for this special time we'll see
A reflection of who we used to be
Our faces worn by the passage of time
And all the mountains we had to climb
Some are missing, we hold them dear
Not forgotten, in memory they are near
So dear class, that was out time in the sun
So bittersweet to be with you, each and everyone....
Written for my upcoming class reunion..
