Seahorse 67

Something I'd like you to see
Blue sky and green maple trees
Sparkling blue water, magnificent views
Stunning lake sunset or Mansfield will do

Mem ‘ries of sweet blue and white
Seahorses dance in the light
Moonlight and sunlight and starlight for two
Fresh breezes waiting for you

Join us, I’d like you to see
Blue sky and green maple trees
Sparkling blue water, magnificent views
Stunning lake sunset, Mount Mansfield too.

Seahorse we see you tonight
Seahorse hearts beating in sight
Joy now is growing, you’re here, such delight
Seahorses dance tonight
Joy now is growing, you’re here, such delight
Seahorses dance tonight.

Barbara Boyden June 27 2022
(to be used with the tune of Under the Bridges of Paris Songwriters: D Cochran / V Scotto Arranged by John Altman)


I wrote that with a sweet little waltz looping in my ear. It’s meant to entice with a gentle sway and show the joy and delight. Maybe we can sing it. Maybe we can dance to it.  Maybe surprise guest dance royalty will show us the way!!!

When so many have died

Barb,

Nice job on the poem.  Well done.

I particularly want to thank you for the list of deceased classmates.  I was aware of a couple of passings over the years but had not seen an entire list.  Thanks for including it.

Keep up the good work.

Warmest regards,

John Moreland

Hello Barb!!! It certainly does. I think the best way to breathe again is to connect with each other. How fun will it be to giggle together? I think just seeing each other will honor those that are gone and at the same time lift our hearts. Bring your everything to the sublime group healing that will occur. It’s just fun.
Love You
Barb

I also was blown away at the names of our deceased classmates. I had been trying to find David Anglin and now I know why I couldn't find him. Thanks for adding that list.

I feel like a idiot . Just realized I sent my reply about the list of passing classmates without finishing . 
I wanted to include as the days weeks months and years go by we get older. That is a good thing in my book . I’m fortunate to be in excellent health . No meds no surgeries no issues that are being attended to . 
I’ve been meeting with a couple former classmates once a month or so . They have had issues . I told them I feel bad that I don’t . I should be in the same boat . They told me to just be thankful I have my health .
I am lucky and I pray for all of you for good health.
My wife says I’m a freak of nature . 
It’s sad to hear about former classmates . It’s never easy but I m hoping they didn’t suffer .
Sorry to be a Debbie downer .

Barb,
Love the poem.
Was very surprised to see so many of our classmates have passed!
Thank you for all you do.  Just sorry I’m unable to attend the reunion.  I’m sure it’ll be fun.

Happy to live so long, sad to have lost so much and so many by doing so. Lucky to live in my hometown for the last 12 . So rich in memories. And pretty freakin' beautiful, the light on the water here. 

"I want more," says Mr. Greedy, throwing his bedpan at the wall.  

Reunioneers, sorry to say my daughter calls me to Alaska in August when y'all's gonna be watching the flaming Adirondack sunset from Leddy Beach. See ya at the 60th. D

Oh pardon us if we try very hard not to think of you and your bed pan in the wilds of Alaska. Have a wonderful time with your family.
