High School Reunions

Preparing for high school reunions
To some is painful like feet bunions
Some are afraid how much they have changed
Dieting to death to lose the pounds they have gained
They wish all those wrinkles and lines could be erased
And those bulging bellies and balding spots replaced
Alas the time to meet old classmates is closer than ever
And panic takes over
Then reality sets in
What in the world am I doing
This is not what reunions are for
You should enter the reunion venue door
With pride and not anxiety
You are seeing, being and rejoicing with everybody
However you are now with them you should celebrate
You earned those wrinkles and weight
You lived life your way
And so did they
Just reminisce of days long ago
When you were young and much in life did not know
The moments are precious and life is short
Find strength in the camaraderie and support
It is worth celebrating with old classmates
What was tendered to each of you by fate
You all survived living all these years
And to that one grateful Cheers!
