We have more in common than where we once grew
The places we've been and the faces we knew
You took my life’s memories back to the start
Cooling my mind and warming my heart
We relived each faux pas, we laughed and smiled
And I viewed that night through the eyes of a child
Preconceptions were quashed and awkwardness thwarted
Though bodies had changed and faces distorted
Back then we had more hair and a little less weight
As we remembered the times when we were great
Each question was asked with care and precision
Met by 2 parts respect and 1 part derision
All took turns with humiliation bespoke
No one was above the being the butt of the joke
I was afraid that my neglect would enjoyment detract
But my soul filled with pride as I returned to the pack
As our lives moved sideways and our families grew
I've drifted away from the friends I once knew
But with an open heart, open mind & a grin
I returned home and they let me back in
Amazing as usual
