| Make Some Memories | |

It was a strong night for
memories, and he thought about his poem he closed his reunion presentations
with, as he tried to share with his friends his new-found awareness of life, and
to encourage them to live their lives fully, to go out and create more of those
precious memories . . .

As you gather together in our reunion tonight, And you dance and mingle, talk and sing. Open up your hearts, reach out your arms, You never know what it might bring. We've all changed a lot from who we were then, The years have taken their toll. Our weight has changed, our hair has thinned down, But our beings are now much more whole. There's not a one of us who has not felt The loss of family or friends. The prices we pay for the love that we know, Are the losses we suffer at the ends. But there is a balance in life, you will find, There's a new beginning for each end. Life goes on, and love spreads anew, You re-build, your soul starts to mend. Reach out and share, invite someone in -- Into your life and your ways. The second half of your life's being played, And who knows for how many days? There's no limit on players, it's an infinite court, It's up to you just how well you play. Do you sit on the sidelines and hope some one asks, Or do you go on out and make your own way? A reunion can be such a magical time, One of renewing old friendships long past. Of making new friends, of sharing yourself, Creating memories that will linger and last. May magic touch your heart, may it reach to your soul, May this weekend bring changes profound. As you open your heart, your soul and your mind, You'll find whole new worlds without bound. There are talents within you, perhaps you're not aware, There is music, there are words, there is song. All you need are encouraging words, They'll flow forth, and you'll feel, "I belong!" Ask permission to hug, don't be afraid to share, Mortality creeps up on us on all sides. For if you've lived, you've a story to tell, You may have your own "Prince of Tides." Go ahead, make some memories . . ! ! ! |
