40 YEARS

Forty years have come and gone
Since we ventured on our own.
To work, to school, to war
Or just to stay at home.
So here I am among my friends
With pangs of trepidation
Though not with hesitation
To recall and to relive
The time we spent as one
So many years ago.
All our lives have changed
As decades passed us by.
A few less strands of silver thread
Scattered sparsly on the head.
A few more pounds and inches
About a widening waist.
But these are insignificant.
Ravages of time.
And as we come together
To reflect on who we are,
We find that forty years
Have left us much the same...
A gathering of friends
Who meet each other now and then
And recall the times we spent as one
So many years ago.
