Reunion 2017





















My very best friends from high school,
Are having a reunion tomorrow…
I’d give anything to be there;
Decades of memories to share and borrow.

We had marriages, now broken,
Children wiser from our mistakes….
We emerged as perfect parents,
After script upgrades and retakes.

My best friends had a reunion today,
They gave me a video call…
Seeing aging faces one by one,
I got to speak with them all.

Most said they were astonished,
I remembered everyone’s name…
I was surprised, after all these decades,
Our friendly bonds remained the same.

Feeling the first chill of Autumn,
Their voices warmed up my day…
Like the Rolling Stone’s lyrics in high school,
“Well Love is love, not fade away”.

  1. Beautiful, Mike. I'm so glad you got to "be" there with us. It really is amazing how the bonds we created over 50 years ago are all still intact. I feel the same about you now as I did then. xo, Winona
