Our Class Is Close

Our Class is Close
By Franklin Price

Our class is close though time has passed
Fifty years are quite a few
Through cyber space we travel fast
To reacquaint with ones we knew

Retired now or very soon
To face less hectic lives
Sit back enjoy the sun and moon
And more vacation drives

We'll tell of our adventures
On Facebook we will post
Try not to drop our dentures
When we tell our tales and boast

High school friends now getting age
Many gone along the way
Reconnecting now is all the rage
Now is the time to play

Don't be afraid to share with us
Past, present, future too
Do not offend or fight or fuss
Could lose a friend we have so few

Life's too short to pick a fight
Give postings lots of thought
Friends don't think that being right
Above all else is what we're taught

Support class mates when they are down
Post things of hope and care
Place a smile where was a frown
Let them know a friend is there
