The wait took thirty-one long summers
And hours of dialing up the numbers
Nights working up the computer keys
In a bid to bring together friends I miss
Reminiscing:
White spotless uniforms well pressed
Stinking cadavers lying undressed
Exhausted minds trying hard to learn
Equations on why gastric acid burns
Four grueling years of hard learning
Like glue it seals tight friends bonding
Each took off to find a place in the sun
But the ties kept strong in the long run
Realizing:
All the years of chasing our careers
Building a family with blood, sweat and tears
Saving up some money in the banks
But more often than that we just got thanks
Back to where this friendship all started
You guys still look like we never parted
It was so nice to hug you one more time
Before we finally fall from our prime.
31 years we’re now an endangered species
Balder, grayer, smitten with old age diseases
The memories of the years we had together
Alzheimer’s won’t take away is my prayer.
