Janet Brice Parker
THE CLASS OF 1963
Alternate version — final website choice pending.
24th class reunion
Guards are dropped,
respect is gained
For those we barely noticed.
Hearing tales of human lives
that were not candy coated.
Dressing up from the inside out
not needing to impress,
Admitting flaws of younger years
desiring to confess.
Embracing time
that one short night,
Holding then and now.
Observing friends
with new regard
That truth and age allow,
Janet Brice 11-28-1988
