My hope for the graduates of this year is that they have such memories to look back on fifty-four years from now.
Sixty-four Forevermore By Franklin Price 6/4/2018 Sixty-four forevermore This month it has been fifty-four In cap and gown walked down the aisle The memories still make me smile Many together all the years From one through twelve from milk to beers Sometimes bad but mostly good Day to day lived as we should No air condition in the school To skip a day was sometimes cool The beach was calling out our name To not be caught part of the game On week-end nights a drive-in show To watch or not you never know With luck a date to share the scene Sometimes distracted from the screen We also met at the tastee-freeze Or the A&W to shoot the breeze To see each other and be seen The dining drive-in had no screen Spoke to each other face to face While snacking at a drive-in place No cell phones then to help our fate We did not text to find a date Those were the days at least I think To friends from then I raise my drink I toast you all to end this rhyme Those days I think a better time
