That Wonderful Year---1959

If you are going to the reunion on the 17th of June, please take this Post and place on our table. Encourage others to visit our Blog at www.hallpasspchs1959@blogspot.com As Coach Dale said at the end of Hoosiers---"I love you guys".  







                                                                                 1959
                                  We were all eager and young with our unlimited dreams
                                  Our world seemed small and each thought we understood
                                  What it took to plan our lives and how to work our schemes
                                  Then everything seemed fresh, clear and surely all good
 


                                 Before long our different lives marched at a very new pace
                                 Marriage, college, military, other careers introduced us to work
                                 The sweet breath of babies whispered in our concerned face
                                 Bills and kids school activities introduced us to 24/7 real work  
 


                                Phone calls tell of family and classmates who breathed their last
                               Our kids left home and before long those special grandchildren came
                               Funny how God directs this ever changing world stage life cast
                               Some marriages dissolved and each knew they were not to blame
 


                              Today we start to faintly hear that not so distant Heavenly choir sing
                              Pills and bills continually fill our mostly silent and mostly empty space
                             Late at night we secretly wonder what the next late night call brings
                             Where did the years and dreams go as we prepare to complete the Race?
