Half a Century - Can it Be Since Graduation Day?
Half a century - can it be since graduation day?
So many stories we could tell
Of life and love, of work and play.
Our teachers were a special lot.
The things they taught have served us well.
Oh years of youth, where have you gone?
I see that you have passed us by.
So soon we're old
How can it be?
Where's the girl I used to be?
They've hurried by, those restless years
So filled with joys, as well as tears.
The birds send forth their songs of praise --
God's wonders he's bestowing.
To think He planned it all for me --
So long before my birth.
The skies, the seas, the plants and trees --
All things that make the earth.
I thank you, God, for everything --
Such joy to all of life you bring.
