From Upper Darby, Drexel Hill
And places far and wide
They all have passed now sixty years
No secrets to confide
Friendships lasting longer than
Most people live on earth
From girls to teens to women now
All full with love and mirth
They now will gather “Down the Shore”
Where happiness abides
So they can share their memories
As new dreams each confides
They have remained true friends through time
And tasted treasures rare
And seem to be a special group
To which few can compare
So many years of friendship pure
A most astounding thing
How special and unique they are
When tales of life they bring
Of children and those children grand
Of husbands, friends and more
They gather all here by the sea
Not knowing what’s in store
Perhaps a little bit of wine
A glass of great champagne
With them there’s no uncertainty
From life’s most sweet refrain
Revealed to be a special love
Which each of them possess
As through each day of history
God did their thoughts caress
Allowing them to all renew
The years that they have known
How wonderful it is to see
When friends have sixty grown | | © 2007 David Devaney |
