The dictionary meaning of "homecoming" as the arrival home of somebody who has been away. But it is so much more. With homecoming it brings on an assorted bouquet of emotions, joy, laughter, concern, tears and fears. It is at times like this that we remember how lucky we are to share these friendships, and how we miss them when they are not around us.
In case you haven't guessed by now Beverly ( my home town ) is celebrating the 41st annual homecoming this week. They expect to draw crowds of 20,000. It's a full week of activities including volleyball contests, several breakfasts, art show, ice cream social, tours, nightly concerts, senior day, flea mk, and the every popular lobster festival, my personal favorite! No, you are not going to see a picture of me ripping it apart or dripping butter down the front of me. I don't want to spoil any image that you might have of me.
Old Friends
by Jim Morton
there’s hearts filled with laughter
and eyes moved to tears
with memories so vivid
transcending the years
the words of compassion
and actions so kind
the sun smiles down, when
old friends come to mind
I’ve counted my blessings
and shuffled my dreams
and sang to the music
of deep forest streams
searching for places
the light always shined
like deep in my soul, when
old friends come to mind
I count you among
all the guides on the path
who loved me and taught me
to dream and to laugh
when I reach my heaven
I know that I’ll find
this heaven was built
by old friends, I call mine…
