THE  TOAST             by     Rob Conklin A FIFTY YEAR REUNION TOAST     1949-1999

                    WHAT SEPARATES THIS MOMENT                                                 
                                  FROM ALL OTHERS
                                        IS AS SIMPLE
                                AS A RANDOM BREEZE
                             MAKING GOLDEN LEAVES
                            LAUGH WITH EACH OTHER.

         IT IS FRIENDSHIP - AND LEARNING - AND LOVE
                                AND KNOWING THAT
                    A SPECIAL THING WAS WELL DONE.

                IT IS LIKE A SMALL CLOUD SNEAKING
                                    UNNOTICED
                        THROUGH AN EMPTY SKY. 

                       WE SEE AND WE REMEMBER! 

                    THIS MOMENT WILL BE FOREVER
                               IN THE QUIET PLACES
                                     OF OUR MINDS
                             AND WHEN SUMMONED
                                IN A FUTURE STORM
                              WILL KINDLE A SMILE.

        HERE'S TO ALL OF US - AND TO SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL
                            "FOR THE GOOD TIMES."
