High School Friends

This came to mind after reading a comment today on Facebook from one of my high school friends.

To My High School Friends

Though friends and family on new journeys embark
The years aren’t lost, they remain in your heart

All of the adventures and all of the fun
Those are the memories that can’t be undone

Pondering the past can be melancholy
I’d do it all over, and make several copies

One for each friend, I’d keep tucked away
To save some sunshine for a rainy day

It’s my friends from high school I think about most
So right here and now I offer this toast

To my high school friends, some near some far
I’m not naming names, you know who you are

You helped shape my life and we learned the ropes
The parties at my parents house sure were dope

So much to say but I’ll leave it here
And raise a mug, of ice-cold beer

I love my friends and hold them all dear.
Here’s hoping your days are filled with cheer.

Pretty sure we rivaled the parties they had on Thachrer’s Hill!
