Years of My Life

A Journey from 1944 to … Now

198990 School Year
Harmon Middle School

Another year of classes, plays.
An 8th Grade Farewell Show, of course.
My nights were busy as my days—
Such grading, planning …. Where’s The Force

When I require it, anyway?
This year our son would graduate
From high school. Such a happy day—
Though laced with worry and the weight

Of knowing he would leave our home—
For college, yes—and otherwise.
He was, of course, now free to roam—
To follow what enlarged his eyes.

And Joyce and I were now alone—
The first time since his lovely birth
In 1972. We’d known
Such joy with him—we’d learned his worth.
