Chapters

School recess, church and rebellion,

First cars, first dates, first death…

We found first jobs, mates and houses.

Time barely paused to catch our breath.

There were parties, drinks, beach fires,

Our children’s births and graduations...

We moved away, sent Christmas cards

And similar salutations.

Traveling blind on life's highways,

Through victories, losses, champagne toasts…

We never knew those laughs and songs,

Were our lifetime’s mile posts.
