Our Journey of a Lifetime
Classes 1959 Thru 1965
The Empty Chair
We gather here, a class once more
to reminiscence, lke years before
Upon the days and joys we knew before
our school age time was through Yet,
as we meet, with memories near
we think of those, always held dear
Our friends and classmates, passed away
to be with God, and enjoy their day.
They sit at desks, resting on clouds
surrounded by angelic crowds
where they shall be forever more
The friends and schoolmates we adore
they’ll be with us in every prayer
Until the day, we join them there
Within the walls of Heaven’s class
Where friendships formed shall always last.
Until that hour, when we join again
An Empty Chair, we will maintain
in honor of the life-long bond
We forged with those, now passed beyond
The friends with whom we learned life’s truth
whose bonds lasted far from our youth
and shall remain forever near
When we gather, from year to year

“Mortality”
Verses 9 and 10
For we are the same that our fathers have been;
We see the same sights that our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream, we feel the same sun,
And run the same course that our fathers have run.
The thoughts we are thinking, our fathers would think;
From the death we are shrinking, our fathers would shrink;
To the life we are clinging, they also would cling-
But it speeds from us all like a bird on the wing.
Abraham Lincoln’s favorite refrains from “Mortality” by William Knox
