Reminiscing a reunion
Social media enables a verbal ‘reunion’
Old faded pictures emerge from old albums…
Excitingly and childishly, baby boomers reminisce the good and carefree days…
That’s me, is that you?
Who is this pretty girl, and this handsome boy?
Can’t remember, …
we need more walnuts. (for our brain cells)
In the background, was a class monitor, and he still ‘is’.
So he gathers his flock
all over this village globe
for a fiftieth anniversary.
But some sheep were lost
Where have they gone to?
(some had passed on, some have disappeared… untraceable).
Hard knocks shaped the lives of many, yet gratitude prevails.
One survives an operation on a brain tumour
And another, uterine cancer,
Two mothers are blessed with children with mental disorders.
One PDP is undergoing knee operation,
while our teacher is still climbing hills!
Some weathered the Great Recession triumphantly,
One survives a divorce gracefully!
Yet together, and hopefully, most will reunite in a coming physical meet.
************
New friends are silver, but old are gold
Don’t count the years…count the memories
Memories are the threads that hold together the patchwork of friendship.

“*Reminiscing a reunion* is akin to finding a neddle-in-a-haystack, *&*
like the experience finding a diamond in the rough

dripping in sapphires=a poetic MASTERPIECE!’_-Van Prince
