Sunday Whirl Prompt Words: lifetime, years, will, connect, class, awe, place, last, home, relax, share, trip
Always challenging. Always a joy to write!
Great word prompts. Reminded me of homecoming at California Baptist University. So, here’s a brief refection of then and now.
Homecoming
It seems a lifetime ago,
Almost forty years, in fact,
I roamed these halls as a student;
Will I have a chance to connect?
My class reunion is small,
Though people crowd the square.
CBC was quaint back then,
When I was a student there.
I stand in awe at the place,
The campus large, quite a shock.
CBC, now CBU;
12,000 plus, a city block.
The last time I walked these halls
They were quiet and serene;
Here, my home away from home,
Now, popping at its seems.
The atmosphere now vibrant;
Relax, and memories share.
Cherish this trip, each loved one,
At my alma mater there.

Thanks for reading. Did you attend college? If so, where? and have you gone back for homecomings or reunions? Were there huge changes in the size of the campus? Student population?
