Hello Jay,

This is a beautiful family sonnet. I have missed reading your work for some time now. I hope and pray that you are feeling alright.

God bless you Jay and please keep writing if it is at all possible.

This place just isn't the same without you...Take care of yourself...Bill

god i admire your ability to keep writing classic poetry forms at your age. I am 67 and hope I will still be writing daily at age 99. Well done meditation on attending reunions.

Hello Jake,
This is an excellent sonnet in your own style
with exact rhymes and smooth meter.
Reunions can refresh one's life, bringing memories to life.
I'm sure you'll be there again next year.
Best wishes.
Robert

Reunions are a special time, remembering forgotten places, events and people. Good food and laughter help to make the day memorable for everyone. Thank you for sharing, jaybird.

Jay, I'm sure you will be there next year and then again for the BIG one, your 100th Birthday! They don't make them like you any more. My neighbour will be 100 this October, and he still gets out and does his gardening. You are both from special stock, and have survived so much and are still carrying on with a smile. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your reunion, it's so nice to meet up with those you don't see much anymore. This was a really lovely, well written sonnet, my friend, I enjoyed reading it very much. Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Waoh! At 99 you still right with such energy. Jay, you are a great blessing and source of hope for some of us younger. I am glad to know you were able to attend the Reunion and had fun seeing some old faces and sharing experiences. May God continue to sustain you in good health. Well done.

I do hope so too. Your poems are spectacular and you sound like a lovely man.
Just a tiny typo: there's a missing apostrophe in the second line of the second verse: life's.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Reunions aren't what they used to be since people are so busy, but they were very special, and your poem shows how special they were. It's sad when faces are missing. I'm proud of you for still writing something worthwhile to read! I'll be 86 in a couple of months, and I'm not ready to quit writing either!

Reunion is always a happy event.

I feel happy for you that you can join reunion. My legs are out of control and for is me from traveling.

I agree with you that you say: " I return home, a new found man."

The motivations are: " We take photos and chat a while,
talk memories, with a huge smile. that way they know I'm still alive and trying hard to still survive."

Thanks for sharing
