Good evening! I soooo miss writing every evening! Although cleaning houses everyday keeps me busy. I do not consider it hard work, but, in the evening when I sit down, my eyes want to go shut. If I don’t go to sleep early, I cannot walk early. It has to be early to leave me enough morning time! Sometimes, just not enough hours in a day. I wrote this poem in 2019 thinking about the events to come. My Denny was still alive when I wrote this, but Covid put us a year behind and this was my first reunion alone. But, I was not sad, I was with him for his 50th! He was with me in spirit! It was absolutely a wonderful and beautiful weekend. I do want to thank all of you for all of your love and kind words this past weekend. It is wonderful to know how people care for you in thought! I do believe that I was placed in the best class ever. So this poem is full of my thoughts as a child, being sent off all by myself. I’m sure you can all relate. This poem is in my book. It is in editing right now. As soon as I approve that, it will be sent to publishing. Still hoping for it to be here before the holidays. I hope you enjoy my words and thoughts. Good night and God bless.🤗🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🤗
When school starts at the age of five, some are scared, and some come alive! Put in a room with so many strangers, not one thought of the dangers! Listening to one person, all day long, my feelings of staying home we’re very strong! How is a child supposed to know, how to act in school, before they go! Then, there’s the big yellow bus, out in the country it came, all of the neighbor kids knew each other by name! Our lives would never be the same! Some of you became the best of friends, and never wanted school to end, some of us stayed afraid, never joined in, as the other children played! Of course we all grew up, going our separate ways, some went to college and chose a career, some stayed in contact, with ones they hold dear! Some got married and moved away and decided that’s where they would stay! As our 50th reunion approaches fast, all of us can’t wait, to talk about the past! Many of our classmates are already gone, to not give honor to them, would just be wrong! As 2020 will be here before we know it, let’s appreciate each other, and really show it! I think about all of you every day, and how Facebook friendship brought you back to stay, I look at your pictures, I read your posts too, class of 1970, oh how I love you! Marilyn Bodi Reed 6/18/19
