Reunion Introspection

Life at 75

My silver mane shows

Natural beauty of age

With warts, lines and all

My silver mane speaks

Of struggle and redemption

With passion and faith

On departed classmates

Gone forever now

Memories we celebrate

Lives well lived and loved

On our humanity

Human lives deserve

Peace that is socially just

Fight for it we must
